Hi, just wanted to introduce myself I'm a newbie to programming with PHP and HTML, topped with a little Javascript and CSS I've spent the past couple of months teaching myself how to use these tools, and some of their frameworks I decided to put everything I learned into a single project : building my own website. I hope to learn a lot from this forum Thanks

Hi, I am building a small website, using basic PHP and HTML. I coded and developed the website on a local WAMP server, on my laptop. Just recently, I purchased a domain, and deployed my website there. Everything works fine...........except for the .htaccess file. I want to remove file extensions from my file names, so that they don't display in the web browser. There are sooooo many online tutorials which address this issue. So, I assumed that it would be an easy thing to solve. However, I seem to be doing something wrong, because my .htaccess file is not working. (Maybe, my code structure in the file is wrong? But, I wrote the file based on dozens of other examples online) My website contains many files with both HTML and PHP extensions. Apparently, it is not possible to construct a htaccess file that removes extensions for BOTH these file-types So, I simply renamed all my HTML files to PHP (replaced the html extensions with php. And, then, I wrote the code for removing PHP extensions. Here is my HTACCESS file : # disable directory browsing Options -Indexes # enable Multiviews Options -MultiViews # allow server to process and follow all "fictional" URLs. Options +FollowSymlinks # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php [NC,L] RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php </IfModule> # END WordPress This seems correct in every way. So, why is it not working? (a) My domain is hosted on a shared server, so there is no need to configure any HTTPD.CONF files ( Mod_Rewrite is enabled by default;
