Greetings,

I'm using Symfony PHP framework right now with the website I'm working on and I need to get clean URL. Is it possible with Rewrite Lite? My URL always need to include the php file name in the url which makes it look a little messy.

I am hoping to get http://localhost/module/action/parameter instead of http://localhost/filename.php/module/action/parameter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

ISAPI_Rewrite could allow you to access http://localhost/filename.php/module/action/parameter as http://localhost/module/action/parameter. But you will need to modify your application to present new link (http://localhost/module/action/parameter) to a user instead of an old one.

Thanks for the response.

When you say that I need to modify my application, do you mean Symfony? Symfony has a packaged .htaccess that contains the rewriting rules which I know IIS does not recognize. Or is it the httpd.ini found in the installation directory of isapi_rewrite? right now, the code found in my httpd.ini is:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# Defend your computer from some worm attacks
RewriteRule .*(?:global.asa|default\.ida|root\.exe|\.\.).* . [F,I,O]

# we skip all files with .something except .html
RewriteCond URL .*\..+$
RewriteCond URL (?!.*\.html$).*
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]

# we keep the .php files unchanged
RewriteRule (.*\.php)(.*) $1$2 [L]

# finally we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php [L]

This is what it contains but sadly, the routing is not working. If i use http://localhost/not_index.php/module/action/parameter it will work but if I use http://localhost/index.php/module/action/parameter it wont. i think it is because index.php is set as the default home page which is why its being ommitted in the url.

I need to know if what I need to do is work on the isapi_rewrite side or on the symfony side to make this going. I hope someone can point me to the correct direction.

thank you.

If Symfony already has predefined .htaccess file then you'd better to try to use it as is with the ISAPI_Rewrite 3. ISAPI_Rewrite 2 has different syntax, so .htaccess rules will not work without modifications.
