Message: <blockquote data-quote="galleline" data-source="post: 16546605" data-attributes="member: 170042">Just add .htaccess file to the root folder of your site(for example, /home/domains/domain.com/htdocs/) with following content:[PHP]RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php[/PHP]First, verify that the mod_rewrite module is installed. Then, be  careful to understand how it works, many people get it backwards.   You don't hide urls or extensions. What you do is create a NEW url that directs to the old one, for example   The URL to put on your web site will be yoursite.com/play?m=asdf   or better yet   yoursite.com/asdf   Even though the directory asdf doesn't exist. Then with mod_rewrite  installed you put this in .htaccess. Basically it says, if the requested  URL is NOT a file and is NOT a directory, direct it to my script: [PHP]RewriteEngine On  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /play.php [L] [/PHP]Almost done - now you just have to write some stuff into your PHP  script to parse out the new URL. You want to do this so that the OLD  ones work too - what you do is maintain a system by which the variable  is always exactly the same OR create a database table that correlates the "SEO friendly URL" with the product id. An example might be   /Some-Cool-Video (which equals product ID asdf)   The advantage to this? Search engines will index the keywords "Some Cool Video." asdf? Who's going to search for that?   I can't give you specifics of how to program this, but take the query string, strip off the end [PHP]yoursite.com/Some-Cool-Video [/PHP]turns into "asdf"   Then set the m variable to this   m=asdf   So both URL's will still go to the same product yoursite.com/play.php?m=asdf  yoursite.com/Some-Cool-Video mod_rewrite can do lots of other important stuff too, Google for it and  get it activated on your server (it's probably already installed.)             You have different choices. One on them is creating a folder named "profile" and rename your  "profile.php" to "default.php" and put it into "profile" folder. and you can give orders to this page in this way:  Old page: <a href="http://something.com/profile.php?id=a&abc=1" target="_blank">http://something.com/profile.php?id=a&abc=1</a>  New page: <a href="http://something.com/profile/?id=a&abc=1" target="_blank">http://something.com/profile/?id=a&abc=1</a>  If you are not satisfied leave a comment for complicated methods.</blockquote>
