Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how I can change a url from this:

example.com/?id=example1

to:

example.com/example1

when using a GET variable,
ie. taking out "?id=" in the url and showing just the value?

I have seen other people using this but I have no idea how to use it myself,

Thanks in advance

They use HTACCESS to get the variable in the URL and silently send you to the PHP page, with that variable in the URL.

User goes to example.com/example
HTACCESS takes the example variable and puts it into a GET variable like example.com/?id=example
HTACCESS silently redirects the page to the PHP script

It called mod rewrite. You put rules into your .htaccess file and Apache will "rewrite" the pretty url to the correct url.

  .htaccess is the way to go.
  
  You could also look into using an mvc framework like CodeIgniter, CakePHP or Recess.
