Want to drop .php and redirect to what is left... 14 Anni, 5 Mesi fa #1281

jnlabbott Offline Fresh Boarder Messaggi: 2	I have a site where I need everything that ends in .php to redirect to the same url, with the .php dropped. Example: From: www.sitename.com/legal.php To: www.sitename.com/legal I can do them one by one, but looking for a way to do it with a regex rule. Any ideas?

Hi.
You can do it with Apache mod_rewrite. Just a question:

From:
www.sitename.com/legal.php

To:
www.sitename.com/legal

Do the URL www.sitename.com/legal exists? Or you just want to drop .php but the page is www.sitename.com/legal.php?

In the latter case, you should use internal rewrite (i.e. the user call www.sitename.com/legal, and you Apache add a .php at the end and the internally www.sitename.com/legal.php).

Let me know what you really need,
Luigi

Thanks, the pages do not exists (or at least they won't when we go live). The site is being ported over to Joomla, and we want to make sure search results and links in the wild redirect to the Joomla pages... there are about 200 for the site. We've managed to replicate the relative paths so that if the old site had:

www.sitename.com/somefolder/somepage.php

The Joomla site has the new content at:

www.sitename.com/somefolder/somepage
