Question

Can anyone explain how to create friendly URLs? I mean URLs like http://store.steampowered.com/app/22600/ that doesn’t have any pages like index.php visible.

Answer 1

If you only have cpanel use .htaccess.

If that doesn’t work, you are left with parsing the url in php with a link like this:

http://server.com/router.php/search

You can do that with something like this.

<?
list($junk,$url) = explode("router.php",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$paths = explode("/", $url);
if ($paths[0] == 'search')
{
   Header("Location: /search.php");
}
?>
