http://www.example.ca/article/563/
I see the above link in a dynamic site. I am working on the site, and there is no folder called ‘article’ and obviously ‘563’ is dynamically generated as well. I found out I had to edit the article.php page which is located in the root folder to make the changes I wanted, but my question is, how do I make urls appear different from what the actual file location is on the server.
This is commonly called “URL Rewriting“. It can be done with appropriate configuration of your webserver, for example Apache’s mod_rewrite provides a way to modify incoming URL requests, dynamically, based on regular expression rules.
