.htaccess

[peterisgb]

Hello, i'm playing around with the .htaccess file.

I've got this

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

 

Which does this to links:

http://www.example.com/usersonline.php

to

http://www.example.com/usersonline

Is there a way in the .htaccess file to make all pages display like the above link without editing every link on the site?

You could try a PERMAMENT REDIRECT in the file. Or just use a proper IDE and change the links.

This won't take into account variables in the URL.

well i am completely new to .htaccess files and i hardly know anything about it.

You could try using a batch find a replace tool to edit the .php out in every file

If done right in htaccess it won't matter if you have the file extension in the links itself. I believe like what [MENTION=70137]john.[/MENTION] said about a permanent redirect will do just that, it will redirect to the re-written URL to match your regex pattern.

I'm assuming you'd use a HTTP302 and this is okay for the shortrun but longterm you'd want to edit links, this is why mccodes needs a url dispatcher

[peterisgb]

so isnt there a code that i can just stick in .htaccess

[KyleMassacre]

Are you trying to rewrite all of your ?'s and &'s? If so your looking at a lot of work. You need to include in your regex all of your query string keys.

Or or you can look how wordpress does it but your still looking at a lot of work but since they use a standard they get by fairly easy by doing it with PHP

I'm not too savvy with Apache so don't take my word for it

[peterisgb]

well so far the ? is still there like so

viewuser?u=1 instead of viewuser.php?u=1.

i dont mind the ?u=1.

i just though it would of been easier to use .htaccess to change the link looks instead of going through each page (which will takes for ages)

[KyleMassacre]

Not if you use a good IDE

Why not have it parse the first bit to the file and after the / you could parse that as a query string...

so /user/view/john would get translated into user.php?query=view/john

and you can then parse the querystring through a bunch of code that gets the true values
