    Hidden PHP Files

    Hi, Im trying to do a CMS intergration for a site. The idea is that after I navigate through the web pages of the site, I will obtain the URL's of the pages that would need editing. However, when connected to the site via FTP, I navigate to the paths of these pages and happen not to find anything at all.
    Could someone please explain and tell me how I could get around. Thanks

    What do the URLs that you have gathered look like? The server might be setup to change the look of a URL, usually for SEO purposes.

    I'd be looking for some re-write rules in the htaccess file. I used to do this all the time. such that mysite.com/article/2010/03/30/title_goes_here would point to the posting with the slug "title_goes_here" that was posted on March 30, 2010 and the php file that would be responsible for rendering it would be "article.php"

    which content management system are you using in the first place? generally, most of the content is stored in a database and only cached on the filesystem -- if this is the case, you'd need to login to the control panel of the CMS to make any changes.

    I think this approach would be a little closer to what I'm after. I will have a look at the htaccess file and if there are any handy Tutorials around please let me know. Thanks
