URL REWRITING..

What is URL REWRITING?

As name implies, it means you are going to show smart link(good for SEO because its search engine friendly) to outside world using the ugly link you have.

Eg:1

Ugly URL

www.mysite.com/product.php?id=33

Smart URL

www.mysite.com/product/33

Eg:2

Ugly URL

www.mysite.com/product.php?name=car

Smart URL

www.mysite.com/product/car

Folder structure. Sample structure is given. That means its the root folder should be like this.

Let’s see how to create a smart link for aboutUs.php

Ugly link

www.samplesite.com/aboutUs.php

Smart Link

www.samplesite.com/aboutus/

 Sample .htaccess file

Ok so its a simple one. Make sure you make it working. If its working u know .htacess file and other configurations are working.

Now we can try to do a smart link for dynamic URL.

Our Plan,

Ugly URL
www.samplesite/singleitem.php?id=11

Smart link
www.samplesite/product/11  

That's it.!

Hope this save your valuable time.

Thank you.
