Question

I have XAMPP installed on laptop with Mod Rewrite activated and running. I have a page on my website as following:

http://localhost/TripMan/staff/viewstudent.php?id=2

I would like to make it so that when people visit the URL above it is displayed as:

http://localhost/TripMan/staff/studentinfo/2

How would I write a rewrite rule to do this? I have never used this feature before.

Thanks

You need to use an .htaccess file like so:

# Turn on the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On

# Set student rewrite
RewriteRule ^TripMan/staff/studentinfo/([0-9]*)/?$ TripMan/staff/viewstudent.php?id=$2 [NC,QSA]
