clean url problem .htaccess

Hi
I'm trying to use clean urls in my application:
lets say convert http://mysite/article.php?id=3 to
http://mysite/article/3/
my problem is to use /article act as it was /article.php
here is mt .htacess :

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

on php code parsing string from $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to get id out.

this one works if i use article.php (http://mysite/article.php/3/ works)
but i want to use /article without php extention. is there a way around?

Look up mod_rewrite.

Re: clean url problem .htaccess

what if I don't have access to server to enable mod_rewrite like a hosting,
is there anyway to work around?
just don't want to build entire website and finally can't get a hosting to
enable mod_rewrite for me.

Re: clean url problem .htaccess

mod_rewrite is the best solution available to your case. more over if
you are sure that your host supports .htaccess, there is very little
chance that they will block mod rewrite alone. you can confirm that by
phpinfo. look in apache2handler-> Loaded Modules section (this does
not tell you if .htaccess is enabled/disabled)

but in the worst case try using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead of
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

in either case you cannot do this with .htaccess disabled.

No.

Then make it a requirement when you are choosing a (shared) hosting
provider.

Have you checked to see if you hosting environment allows custom php.ini =
files? If so, then ask them for information that governs their setup on =
your server.

Meh, there is that! Find a host that has requirements you are looking =
for. Which reminds me... I do allow this in my hosting packages.
