[PHP] Parsing files without extensions.

[Jeff MacDonald]

Hi

In an effort to make pages more search engine friendly,
i'd like to be able to have php parse a few that do not
have extensions..

ie, if it could parse the file "zoom" then i could make
urls like http://foo.com/zoom/1231

instead of http://foo.com/zoom.php?id=1234

i've conquered the /1232 vs. id=12312 problem already..
just parse the get string.. but now to make php parse
zoom

i've added

AddType application/x-httpd-php zoom

into httpd.conf with no effect (yes i restarted apache)

any idea's ?

Try AddType application/x-httpd-php /path/to/zoom

Where /path/to is your root - so like this:

http://www.server.com/scripts/zoom would be
AddType application/x-httpd-php /scripts/zoom

Attached is a copy of my httpd.conf file that does this.

If you are using Apache then take a look at its rewrite module. It does
this kind of stuff rather well.

See: http://www.apache.org/docs-1.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Do you want to map "zoom" to "zoom.php"? If so then just set up a
rewrite rule. In your php code the generated links will be
"http://foo.com/zoom/1231" but get mapped to
"http://foo.com/zoom.php?id=1234" by mod_rewrite and then passed to the
php interpretor. When you write your php files leave the ".php", you
don't have to remove it.

A couple of good ways are to use ForceType or DefaultType, I like
DefaultType because it won't mess with other files in the same
directory:

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php

will make php parse any file w/ an extension it doesn't recognize and
also files w/ no extension.

hey great !

works but i still need a little advise..

i tested it on my home machine.. with 1 domain on it

the actual machien that i want to do this on is a production
machine with over 100 domains.. each has it's own config
section in httpd.conf (or included files thereof)

i added this line to the appropriate secion, SIGHUP'd but
no go..

how can i make it so .htaccess changes will take effect ?
Allowoverride all ?

<Directory /path/to/dir>
<Files "zoom">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
</Directory>

and in zoom.php:

$path_info = explode ('/',getenv('PATH_INFO'));

[Jeff MacDonald]

you read my mind.
i'll test this.. thanks.
