Prevent .php files from showing in address bar




Posted by chocomarker1, 01-12-2011, 01:01 PM
I'm having the problem that as of now, for everything that I navigate through my website, is with a .php ending. When I click on the logo to get back to the front page, it will display in the bottom left corner the complete URL+index.php and upon clicking on it, index.php will be in the address bar after the URL. Same thing for like referafriend.php or aboutus.php or contactus.php ... Makes me feel very uncomfortable and I see that many people nowadays have like www.example.com/# appear or www.example.com/contact-us instead of www.example.com/contactform.php Where and how can I do those settings, that it will be like in the above? Thanks for any help in advance. Have managed so far to set up everything for my server without any flaw but this is where my knowledge ends

Add this to your .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

thanks asciidigital, but isnt there a way to give each php file its own address bar name? just like for the header? because i would like to call like a specific article i am selling on my website http://www.example.com/tables/ivory-...n-and-polished instead of www.example.com/managecatalogue1.php?item=MTE

Use a ajax request in ur main page, or use an iframe, to hide the address link. Or use the htaccess method.
