I've been hiding the extension of my php files using the following setup in my .htaccess

<Files FILENAME>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>


I don't allow outsiders to view some of these files using a Restrict() function which just redirects using header("location: Restricted.html"); if a cookie is not found... this works for the files like www.mywebsite.com/Example but the reason i did this was to hide variables in the urls like www.mywebsite.com/Example/539 ...when there is an ending like the above I get a message saying the Redirection Limit For this URL exceeded. It works without the hidden variable. So I'm wondering what can be done about this problem

Thanks,

you could just put this in ur .htaccess file for the changing of url:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/[0-9]* $1.php?id=$2

Haven't test that myself, but you could also be specific and try:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Example/[0-9]* Example.php?id=$2

When I tried that, it went to the "Example" document but $_REQUEST['id'] wouldnt return anything- so I guess I'd have to do the same thing (take out the $PATH_INFO to make the variable ) and the same problem would probably still exist (*unless im doing something wrong).

I dont really have an understanding of .htaccess stuff
maybe if i make the location: /index.php..


thanks
