Hi all long time since my last post how do i get urls that go like

 

www.yourdomain.com/about-us.php to www.yourdomain.com/about-us

 

and also

 

www.yourdomain.com/viewarticle.php?id=1 to www.yourdomain.com/viewarticle/1/

 

i know its htaccess but when i set it up it dont work any ideas trying to stear away from mvc if possable

When you upload the htaccess file does the website error or does it just display the site without the changes?

ok with /article/1/ i got that working i keep getting errops with trying to do /home for home.php

SEO friendly URLs can be rewritten by using softwares available over the internet, one of the tool is deecoup. Alternatively you could do it using .htaccess. You could follow this http://zenverse.net/seo-friendly-urls-with-htaccess/.

.htaccess is your friend here. I had a bit of bother until I worked out all the tricks of htaccess. I found that included the [L] after you had done a match denoted that this was the "Last" rewrite that would happen for this URL. Otherwise your web server will continue running through the .htaccess file and try and find other matches. If your last match is a catch-all then it might be getting right through to this.

 

If you want to post the content of your htaccess file I'll be happy to take a quick look.

Thanks for sharing such a helpful information.This post would help us to make your URL seo friendly before applying seo strategies.
