If you're using UN*X or Linux (and I think Google is using at least one of those OS) you don't have to use the .php extension on your scripts. You can for example create a file called
.htaccess in your websites root directory:
Code:
<Files directory>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
The .htaccess above will simply force the server to execute the file
directory as a PHP script with the .php extension.
Have a look at how we did it at
AmazingDownloads.com.
http://www.amazingdownloads.com/directory/ is simply a PHP script instead of a directory, but it will look like a directory to anyone without FTP or SSH access to the server.
I moved this topic to the Web Design forum instead
