We don’t want to use any file extension in the end of the file name (like .html , .php). Is there any suitable way to edit the url in PHP based website?

    What you’re looking for are pretty or clean URLs. You can accomplish this using the Apache mod_rewrite module, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

    There are loads of systems (e.g., WordPress, Drupal, Expression Engine, CakePHP, ZendFramework) that implement these for you. If you have a quick look for “Pretty or Clean URL Rewriting” on Google or Bing you should find a load of resources to implement this in a way that is suitable for your project.

    This is a pretty easy to follow and to the point article, see http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/using-htaccess-files-for-pretty-urls/ or http://docforge.com/wiki/Clean_URL
