    Default URLs without extension...

    Hello. i have been testing this on my website and i have noticed that if i put a link, for example: if the file name is products.php i want to use www.mysite.com/products instead of www.mysite.com/products.php it still works, it seem to be working perfect for now, but is there a bad side for this, will it not work in other browsers? do u guys recommend to do it like that? or is there another way of doing this?

    It's not a browser based thing, but instead a server setting. It will work no matter what browser the user is using so as long as you do not change servers. The only bad side that I can think of is if you have a directory of the same name as a page and the user tries to access that directory, the user will continue to get the page of the same name. Not so much of a downside, but still something that you should be aware of.

    Hope this helps.
