URL without trailing slash makes Apache look in non-SSL DocumentRoot

apache redirects https

An alternative fix would be to enforce the trailing slash on the end of your URLS - this would have the benefit of preventing duplicates if your not using Rel Canonical.

SOURCE

This will redirect all requests without a tailing / to the URL with the slash on the end. (note within the 2nd part of the bracket is those file extensions to ignore.. Since it wouldn't make sense to enforce / on a picture URL.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(php|html?|jpg|gif)$

RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]

I'm following a PHP tutorial which is teaching about $_POST and it had me create an exercise with two pages. On the first page (Form page) it creates a form where a user enters Username and Password. Once they click submit, it opens on the second page (process.php) where the Username and Password should be displayed as a result of using $_Post. However, when I click submit on the first page, it takes me to the second page where only the ":" in the Echo statement is displayed. No username, no password.

Any ideas? I've copied the form page and the process.php below.
```
Form page

<html>
<head>
<title>encode</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
     Username: <input type="text" name="username" value="" />
     <br/>
     Password: <input type="password" name="password" value=""/>
     <br/>
     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
     </form>
</body>
</html>
```
Process.php
```
<html>
<head>
<title>encode</title>
</head>
<body>
 <?php
$username = $_Post['username'];
$password = $_Post['password'];

echo "{$username}: {$password}";
?>

</body>
</html>
```

It is not about who is "first"!

@Tomalak It does to some degree. Should I answer a day old question with an existing answer reworded?

@alex: 15 seconds != 1 day. Plagiarism and "who beat you to the punch" are not the same thing!

@Tomalak Sometimes it can be difficult to differentiate the two.

@alex: I've never had a problem differentiating between a day and 15 seconds. But maybe that's just me!

@Tomalak I was referring to the latter Plagiarism and "who beat you to the punch".

@alex: It was more fun to pretend that you were referring to the initial comparison.

Thanks bybe, this looks like it will come in handy even if I don't use it for this particular issue.
