.htaccess help needed - turning /xxx.php to /xxx

Hi,
I would like to know how I can convert links like www.mysite.com/xxx.php to www.mysite.com/xxx using .htaccess.

Thanks in advance!

 

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.$2 [L]

 

That would do it for everything right? How can you do it for only one specific php file??

Cheers ...
Gerald.

 

Replace the regex with the filename you want to rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^xxx$ xxx.php [L]

Code (markup):

 

Hmm,

It's not working.....

I'm using phpLD3.1 and I am trying to redirect anyone going to <url>/<specificfolder>/ to <url>/filename.php

When putting your code into the .htaccess file to does not redirect to <url>/filename.php

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gerald.

 

What's in the rest of the .htaccess file?
Do you want a redirect or a rewrite?
Try using ^xxx/?$ as the pattern to match xxx with a trailing slash.

 

Here is the .htaccess file:

#################################################
## PHP Link Directory - Apache Server Settings ##
#################################################

# Protect files
<Files ~ "^(.*)\.(inc|inc\.php|tpl|sql)$">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</Files>

# Protect directories
<Files ~ "^(backup|files|images|include|lang|libs(/.+)?|temp(/.+)?|templates(/.+)?|javascripts(/.+)?)$">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</Files>

# Disable directory browsing
Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory
Options +FollowSymLinks

# Override PHP settings that cannot be changed at runtime
# (If your server supports PHP settings via htaccess you can comment following two lines off)
# php_value register_globals   0
# php_value session.auto_start 0

# Customized error messages
# ( If you are running in a subfolder please add it, example: "directory/index.php?httpstatus=404" )
ErrorDocument 404 index.php?httpstatus=404

# Set the default handler
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

# URL rewrite rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On

   ## Details Link Page Rewrite##
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
   RewriteRule (.*)detail/link-(.*).htm[l]?$ detail.php [QSA,NC]

   ## Pagination Rewrite
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
   RewriteRule (.*)page-(\d+)\.htm[l]?(.*)$  $1/?p=$2 [PT,NC]

   ## Category redirect
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

Code (markup):

I've tried putting the following directly under the RewriteEngine On statment:

RewriteRule ^prupdater$ prupdater.php [L]

Code (markup):

Basically I want a rewrite ... i.e. still have the URL as <url>/prupdater/ showing but have that pointing to the <url>/prupdater.php file.

Cheers ....
Gerald.


Edit: Just put this in: RewriteRule ^prupdater/?$ prupdater.php [L] and it works !!! Thanks!!
