hi all,
I am seeing this type of url very frequently.
https://www.somthing/one/cgi-bin/webscr ... le-address
Here no one will know which server side scripting is used for this.
Now i want to use my php code (while posting my forms) in that way. How can i do it? I mean just passing variables and values, how would a server know which file to use?
is there any resources for that
Thanks in advance

SSL, for one is needed (at least to duplicate the url you posted). ForceType or mod_rewrite rules can perform the mapping to a file.
I didn't get

I don't think that's php, I'm guessing cgi-bin are some cgi binary scripts, but, as posted, with mod_rewrite you should at least be able to use similar urls.
Thank You feyd

Thank You feyd,
Since i am using IIS till now, i can't modify .htaccess file.So I will install Apache and will try to rewrite an engine for that.
Thank you once again

MultiViews suffice?

You can actually use PHP for CGI scripts... it just doesn't make as much sense

You can change the extensions that Apache handles with PHP.
You can use mod_rewrite.
But on a
standard HTTP server like Apache... (maybe this can be turned off), the HTTP headers contain information which states the content is powered by PHP.
