how can you change a url ending like .html to just the page name?

Question

Just wondering how do you make a page ending on my website from mywebpage.com/news.php to just mywebpage.com/news

i'm a bit stuck so any help would be great, thanks

Answer 1

create a directory called new , under new create index.php/index.htm

Answer 2

First you can change the file name to have no extension. That is it.

So the file

news.html

becomes

news



The problem here is that without the extension your php processor will not recognise the file as being a php type so may not work.

It the file contains only html then there should be no problem with this.

If you are using php then you will have to change the php processing command to process all files.

Answer 3

I'd just make a new folder named "news", and put the news.php in there, rename it "index.php", and that way all users trying to reach "yoursite.com/news" would be redirected to "yoursite.com/news/index.php"...
