Question

I I am trying to convert php links with variables to html link (like on SMF) so increase seo of my site,

My links are like:

http://site.com/pages/page1.php?v1=var1&v2=var2&v3=var3&v4=var4

or:

http://site.com/pages/?v1=var1&v2=var2&v3=var3&v4=var4

I need it to look like this:

http://site.com/pages/page1.var1.var2.var3.var4.html

or

http://site.com/pages/var1.var2.var3.var4.html

or

http://site.com/page.php/var1,var2.var3.var4.html

linke in SMF forums:

http://forum.com/index.php/topic,9197.0.html

How to do that and alos be able to GET those variable values?

You just need to learn how to implement URL rewriting. I know PHP runs on Windows in IIS, but I’m going to go ahead and assume you are probably running Apache. Just read up on redirecting with .htaccess files and mod_rewrite. There’s also something similar (that, alas, you have to pay for) called ISAPI Rewrite for windows servers which I’ve used plenty of times. And if you don’t want to use a third party plugin and you have server 2008, the wizards for IIS do a pretty decent job and they just modify your web.config file directly to do the redirects.
