Topic: Mask php as html

[Rocker]

Hi, all

Let's assume:
I have a file.php and I want the client acces it by file.html. And, if the client try to access file.php, the server "says" 404.

Is it possible???

Thanks in advance

OBS:
I wouldn't like to rename it, and put .html as .php on Apache, 'cause it should slow down all .htmls ...


I don't know if I expressed it all fine (I'm not fluent in English ).

I would like to make this setting in httpd.conf / htaccess ...

Search for
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
in your httpd.conf and replace it with

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

I guess you see the pattern

Thanks for your interest, but, what I want to do is another thing...

I don't know how to explain what I'd like to do...


I'm making a captcha.PHP. This file returns a PNG image.


I'd like to create a sort of symbolic link using htaccess. And block original file.

When client requests captcha.PNG, Apache returns captcha.PHP.
And, when client requests captcha.PHP, Apache returns 404.

In case of client requests captcha.PNG, URI keep itself as captcha.PNG.




PHP -> HTML was only an example...

You should start reading about mod_rewrite

That should do the trick

Sorry, I'm a newbie on Apache...

Where can I read about mod_rewrite?
