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

Try this

www.example.com/file?q=name

to

www.example.com/name (better than www.example.com/file/name)

Open your .htaccess from your project root folder and add this code

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpe?g|png|gif)$ - [L]


RewriteRule "^([ \w-]+)/?$" /file?q=$1 [L,QSA]

This solves your problem. See the post how to rewrite URL in .htaccess
