So I’m pulling events from the database such as /event-detail.php?id=1, but I want it to look like /Event-Name/ instead. How do I achieve this? I know a bit about mod Apache rewrite but not enough to know if it would work here. Or am I approaching this wrong? Do I need to pull items with name instead? /event-detail.php?name=Event Name? I don’t really want to do it that way even though it seems like it would be much easier.

    It would be very hard to make it work otherwise (I think).

    Try this (write this to server conf or .htaccess):

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ event-detail.php?name=$1 [QSA,L] 
</IfModule>

    That will rewrite urls and forward everything else than existing files and directories to event-detail.php script.

    Bit more info, if user call’s /myShowEvent1 that will be rewritten as event-detail.php?name=myShowEvent1 or if user call’s /event/25366273 that would be same as calling event-detail.php?name=event/25366273 (that is if they do not exists in the server).
