Currently on my website when a user logs it it shows www.domain.com/userHome.php
and I want it to just show www.domain.com
so I can have a cleaner url for the user to see.
I had trouble figuring out how to get the url rewrite to just chomp off the end in the address bar. I was following a tutorial here, and decided to try this in my .htaccess
file to see if I could get any rewrite working.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^userHome.php$ /hello.html
when I tried this I was expecting to see www.domain.com/hello.html instead of www.domain.com/userHome.php
which isn't exactly what i wanted but I am trying to take baby steps as I learn this.
Unfortunetley when I tried this I just got a page not found error when I went to www.domain.com/userHome.php
Try:
RewriteRule ^hello\.html$ userHome.php [L]
Then try to access: www.domain.com/hello.html
