index.php上的PHP Url重定向

Question

I am self learning php and started some coding for a web portal. I would like to develop the portal with url that should look like index.php?page=dashboard. If i put the dashboard.php in browser, it should not be displayed.

Queries that i have.

1.how to program to use pages like index.php?page=dashboard rather that having seperate php files like dashboard.php

1. How to make the url look like from www.example.com/index.php?page=dashboard to www.example.com/dashboard

Answer 1

You can use apache mod_rewrite for that, i.e.:

Create a file named .htaccess on the root of your website and put the following contents:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^dashboard$ /dashboard.php [L]

This way, when a user navigates to www.yoursite.com/dashboard apache will redirect him to dashboard.php without changing the url.
