You should use multviews, so that if you request /a, it will expand to
a.php.

Converting a.php to b.php makes no sense; why would you request another
script in that case?

You should also look at the FallbackResource directive, and use pathinfo to
handle URI parameters, instead of the query string.

Hi Frank.

Thanks for the reply.

Not converting.

But I've seen example open source demo/apps
where the app/url
http://www.foo.com/a
http://www.foo.com/b
are valid...

and when I inspect the dir, I get
a.php - b.php...

So I'm assuming that there's something happening in the httpd.conf that's
"hiding"/handling the ".php" extension.


So, trying to understand, so I can do my own personal test.

thanks

That's just multiviews.

Hello.

For that matter, do everyone else do multiviews?
What if we simply name the file b, and then do the following?

<Files "b">
<IfModule php_module>
SetHandler php-script
</IfModule>
<IfModule !php_module>
# If it works via CGI as well.
SetHandler cgi-script
</IfModule>
</FIles>

Regards.

Can you keep the replies on-list?

Multiviews is just the simplest approach, and there is no such thing as
"everyone does X". It depends.

You can certainly solve a problem in the most convoluted way possible, but
it doesn't mean that it's the correct way.
