.htaccess : Hiding .php extensions in URL

[clubhost]

Hi

I was wondering if there is anyway we can hide the .php extension in the URL using .htaccess?

For example

These URLs:

example[dot]com/home.php
example[dot]com/welcome/contact-us.php
example[dot]com/home/support/email_us.php

Should look like

example[dot]com/home
example[dot]com/welcome/contact-us
example[dot]com/home/support/email_us

Pls let me know if this is possible and how?


Many thanks

It's done with mod_rewrite. Too lazy to find URLs or examples right now. Just google mod_rewrite and you'll find what you need.

Either that or include all of the main site into one file, so you would have URL's such as http://www.yoursite.com/?page=page1, that's what I've done with ours.

HI Thanks for teh reply. But I am looking for fully SEO friendly URLs. I know this can be done with .htaccess and the apache mod_rewrite module but I am looking for the exact syntax.

Thanks

Hi

I know how to google and I did googling before I asked this question here. I just could not find the exact syntax what I was looking for.

THanks

Try this out:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home$ /home.php\  [L]

Than do it with other files.
