Use ? at end of url without the need for pagename.ext

On my website I pass parameters like this:

http://www.mysite.com/somepage.php?action=something

But I would like do just do this:

http://mysite.com/?action=something

How can I do this? Do you know of any good, simple resources around? I can't find any because I don't know exactly what 开发者_如何学Goto look for.

Lots of thanks in advance!

The URL you show will usually go to the index file in the root directory (e.g. index.php).

You will be able to catch $_GET["action"] from there without any additional work.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /somepage.php?action=$1 [L]
