Hello,

I expect that this question been beaten to death. I googled for many hours
and all what I found is related to one CMS or another. I want to do is to
make a very very very simple index.php that when is it called it
automatically detect the page and load it. For example, when I call

www.xyz.com/index.php/company, it calls for company.html. I have made that
index.php. Now I need to remove this index.php from the url.

Can you ?

mod_rewite if you use Apache. In the simplest form (not tested):

..htaccess

RewriteRule ^index\.php\/(.*)$ $1 [L,NC,NS]

Scrub that. The rule is backwards. But mod_rewrite is the answer.

Incidentally, does anyone know how this would be achieved on IIS? We've
got a site at work that's running off a CMS I knocked up, but they'd
prefer the URLs to look proper, without the query string.

On IIS, the default document(s) are set on the server. If index.php is
not in the default document list, and you don't have access to the
server, I don't know how to override the default except by
redirecting.

That wasn't what I was asking. I meant is there an equivalent to
mod-rewrite for IIS? I've got bunches of pages being sourced from one
php file, and i'd like to be able to accept URLs without the querystring
part, but still have access to those querystring variables in my php
code.

Or, if you don't have it (not very likely), directories. Eg For the
URL you gave, make a dir called company and put a default document in
there (usually index.html). You will end up with a trailing slash on
the URL, and it does incur a redirect, but it works. This might even
work with IIS, so it would be cross-server compatible.

No. At least nothing simple and free. Run a Google search for
"mod_rewrite iis" and you will see what I mean.

why do you run php things on a windows box anyway?
Use a proper linux 2.6 ;-). It´s free it´s fast it saves
you money and it has MUCH MORE FEATURES!

I think what you're looking at is one of a myriad of available ISAPI
plug-ins; essentially, an IIS add-on that mimics the functionality of
mod_rewrite to some degree.

I found one that claims to work on IIS 5.0-7.0 *and* appears to be FREE.
Problem is, you won't be able to simply copy over any existing .htaccess
files: http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF

Another interesting find was one that advertises 100% compatibility between
it and Apache .htaccess files. It, however, costs a few bucks:

I haven't used either one of these myself, so I can't provide you with
anything more concrete... Hope this s!

Thanks everyone, I'll look into these in a bit more depth when I get
back into work tomorrow.

old one but ISAPI Rewrite is the pretty much standard implementation

http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF - Ionic ISAPI Rewrite Filter

It's free under the Ms-PL (Microsoft Permissive License), and uses
Regular Expressions. Took me a while of rooting through crappy URL
filters that charge $500+ just for RegEx functionality to find this gem.
I've tested it in a few different situations here at work, and it does
the job.
