Hi gang:
I got the idea of how to change things so that if the user types in a
url to a part of your site, then you can redirect the user to where
you want.
For example, long ago I had my site setup with folders and indexes.
For example, one folder was named "contact" with my contact page
residing inside named as index.php.
For SEO considerations I changed everything to root level. For
example, the "contact folder index page" combination was changed to
just contact.php.
However, that left legacy link problems where people/SE's/etc had
previously linked to my site using the old links.
To solve that problem, I simply used htaccess like so:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^contact$ contact.php
That meant that anyone who had a link to my previous contact, would
be redirected to my new contact.php. Everything is cool.
However, I liked the way the url looked before. I liked:
[1] http://sperling.com/contact
instead of the new:
[2] http://sperling.com/contact.php
How can I get the url displayed to look like number [1] regardless if
the user adds ".php" or not?
In other words, I know how to redirect the user to where I want, I
just don't know how to change the url the user see's -- how do you do
that?
Thanks,
tedd
