URL rewriting in PHP without htaccess

Question

Website is running on a web host where we don\'t have access to a .htaccess file. However, I want to do URL rewriting for user friendly URLs.

e.g. Origi

Answer 1

as Alix Axel suggested you can use

www.example.com/index.php/file/name

then you will use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to process the URL.
