Apache’s mod_rewrite can be easily used via a file called “.htaccess” to turn dynamic urls into friendly urls.
Here is an example of how it’s done:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
#Turn on the Rewrite Engine RewriteEngine on #Set the base path RewriteBase / #Check that the lookup isn’t an existing file RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f #Check that the lookup isn’t an existing directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d #Check that the file isn’t index.php (avoid looping) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^index\.php$ #Force all .html lookups to the index file RewriteRule (.+)*\.html index.php?nav=$1 [QSA,L] #Note: QSA=query string append;L=Last, no more rules |
This will rewrite all paths ending in “.html” to your index file.
From there, it’s simply a case of tailoring the rewrite to your requirements.
