How to avoid display of filename in URL

[RAZZ]

Hi,

When I login to my site initially it load index.php by default. We
can't see the page name index.php displayed in URL.

But when I click to some link on this page it will display the whole
path with file name on address bar and URL. I need that it should not
display my php files names on address bar and URL, how should I
achieve it?

Don't write links containing file names. But what is Your PHP question?

For that matter what is the Javascript question?

LOL. This is really an Apache question.

LOL. This is really an Apache question.

Or perhaps HTML.

<a href="http://www.myphpsite.com/?id=12345">Visit This part of My
Site</a>

This link returns the id of 12345 to the index.php or whatever...

you can see that on youtube.com watch?v=LllLLllLLL watch.php?v=...

with fwslash goes to index.php without slash goes to *.php

Your problem is complex, your description vague.

Nonsense. It could not be simpler and the description of it could not be
more clear.

But, IF are running Apache web server, a possible solution for you might
be to look into Apache's mod_rewrite extension that would give you a
rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.

Break, fly, wheel.

And it has nothing to do with PHP. PHP is not involved in URI processing.

FUP'd back to c.l.javascript.

Don't write links containing file names. But what is Your PHP question?

For that matter what is the Javascript question?

Do You see any difference between
http://somewhere/
and
http://somewhere/index.php
?

What I mean "don't write links containing filenames".

That's great if you have a one page site.

relative links to the index page like:

seems to work for index.php

If your server is properly configured to do so, that is.

It is not my problem, yes? :)
And even more, it is w3c recommendation to NOT expose any underlying
technology by prefixing/suffixing URI's with technology-specific data (s.a.
".php" or the like).

That is not what W3C recommends. They only recommend not changing URLs.

Indeed. However, they do recommend the avoidance of technology-specific
URLs as a means to achieving the ultimate goal of stable URLs.

So it's counter-productive to go around *changing* existing technology-
specific URLs to more neutral ones; but a good idea to use technology-
neutral URLs for new pages.

It is not, and the advisories make that clear:

but a good idea to use technology-neutral URLs for new pages.
