Question

and actually i convert the url with javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.search-form').submit(function() {

        var value = $('.search-form input:text').val();
        value = value = value.replace(/\W/,''); // replace
        window.location.href = value + "-keyword" + ".html";
     return false;
    });
});

</script>

is there a method to convert the url seo-friendly without javascript? maybe with php?

Answer 1

I am for the following technique because

1. it’s a guessable URI to search “via the address bar”
2. it’s always a good thing to redirect while responding to a POST-request, to avoid awkward “want to send POST information again?”-alerts when the user tries to go back via the browser’s back button
3. it’s simply easier to see what I searched for if the URI is clean of hidden values, value of submit-button etc.

Here goes:

<?php
//receiving page
if(isset($_GET['name_of_submit'], $_GET['search_phrase'])) {
    header("Location: /address_to_this_script/".$_GET['search_phrase']);
    die;
}
if(isset($_GET['search_phrase'])) {
   // handle search and validation here, don't forget to escape it!
}
