 Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2022 4:59 am Post subject: How to hide extension like '.php' |
 |
|
Hi
As Title,I have a need to hide the php extension.
I want to convert like 'https://mysite/index.php?a=1' to 'http://mysite/index?a=1'
I checked the manual and the forum, and I know that the rewriting function is used, but I can’t find a way to simply hide the file extension.
Please Help,Thanks. |

Have you checked the article at https://aprelium.com/abyssws/articles/urlrewriting-tutorial.html ? It explains a use case similar to yours and shows how to create a URL rewriting rule with such a capability.

Yes, I have read this article.
The method of the article is
| Quote: |
'https://mysite/index.php?a=parameter1&b=parameter2' to 'http://mysite/index/parameter1/parameter2'
|
I also followed the instructions successfully.
But I have tested that if there are multiple folders, it will be wrong
I really want is
| Quote: |
'https://mysite/index.php?a=parameter1&b=parameter2' to 'http://mysite/index?a=parameter1&?b=parameter2'
or
'https://mysite/folder/index.php?a=parameter1&b=parameter2' to 'http://mysite/folder/index?a=parameter1&?b=parameter2'
|
My requirement is actually very simple, that is, to hide the extension file name.
Thanks for help |

Hello,
There's a way to do what you want.
But how do you know which links must be redirected to a .php file on your server?
WordPress for example does it by taking all Request URIs and redirecting them internally to its index.php file.
Then the WordPress index.php file has a well-defined set of Request URI patterns and which .php file to redirect them to.
Here I'm going to simply think that you have a dedicated host on your server where any file without extension should be redirected to a .php version if available.
The URLRewrite method:
Example URI:
| Code: | | /folder-1/folder-2/folder-3/script-file/?key-1=value-1&key-2=value-2 |
RegEx pattern:
| Code: | | ^(?!.*?\.php(?:\/$|\/\?.*|\?.*|$))(.*?)(\/|)(\?.*|$)$ |
RegEx replacement (redirect to):
End result (redirected to):
| Code: | | /folder-1/folder-2/folder-3/script-file.php/?key-1=value-1&key-2=value-2 |
* this RegEx pattern will silently ignore requests that already have a .php file extension.
How to:
Create one URLRewrite rule:
Do as shown above, relative to base for /.
Uncheck 'Apply to subrequests' and set the redirection to 'Internal redirect'.
The conditions should be REQUEST_FILENAME is not a file & is not a folder.
This is not case-sensitive.

However, how will you hide .php from your existing .php script redirects?
If you have a .php script that automatically does a 302 redirect with header("Location: https://mysite/another-script.php?key=value"), then you also have to modify your .php scripts to remove the '.php' text in any HTTP redirect you might find.
-
For handling 404 errors incase of non-existing files, you might want to use a custom 404 page (Error pages section of Abyss) to hide the .php extension from there as well so that it doesn't show up in visitor error pages. |
