为php脚本创建RESTful网址

Question

I have a php script on a webserver. Currently, the script is being accessed as http://www.mydomain.com/scriptname.php . Is there a way i can create a user friendly url for accessing this script, something like http://www.mydomain.com/appname, so when this url is called it invokes the php script ?

Please help. Thank You

Answer 1

You want mod_rewrite if you're using Apache HTTPD: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

If you're using a different web server, it may have something similar (lighttpd has a similar functionality builtin).

Once it's enabled, you can use something like this in your .htaccess file to rewrite appname to scriptname.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^appname$ scriptname.php

Answer 2

If you don't have access to your apache/lighttpd configuration file a little hack that may work is putting the script in http://www.mydomain.com/appname/index.php ; http://www.mydomain.com/appname/ will then probably work.

Answer 3

Using the default settings of most PHP hosts, you can put the file "index.php" inside your folder http://www.mydomain.com/appname , then fill the index.php with next code:

<?php
header("location: http://www.mydomain.com/scriptname.php");
?>

That would do it.
