Another option is to use database driven content and create one file that will decipher which page the visitor wants. Here's the htaccess that Wordpress uses:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
This rewrite checks (every time an address is typed into the browser) to see if a file or directory exists already, and if it doesn't it loads the index.php file (which then figures out what page to display based on the URI).
I noticed this article based on what i can only assume removes the http://www.css-tricks.com/random".html"
from the extension of the url.
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascri ... avascript/
However i wasn't sure ? how would i implement this ?
Is there a simple way using htaccess and/or Javascript to simple remove the extension from a url?
I understand you can use the mod_rewrite expression but everytime i try it out i fail!
Maybe chris you could write a very brief tutorial post ?
Much lovex

If you want to do it manually, you just need to create folders, and put the page in it as index.php.
Ex:
domain com/folder-name/index.php
Then you can just accesse page by typing in:
domain com/folder-name/
Enjoy,
Chris needs to do beginners friendly htaccess tutorial :P
