url rewriting for seo friendly URL, Convert .php to .html

 

For rewriting the URL, you should create a .htaccess file in the root folder of your web directory. And have to put the following codes as your requirement.


Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [nc]


The following example will rewrite the test.php to test.html i.e when a URL like http://localhost/test.htm is called in address bar it calls the file test.php. As you can see the regular expression in first part of the RewriteRule command and $1 represents the first regular expression of the part of the RewriteRule and [nc] means not case sensitive.


Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^item-([0-9]+)\.html$ item.php?id=$1


The following example will rewrite the item.php?id=5 to item-5.html i.e when a URL like http://localhost/product-5.html calls item.php?id=5 automatically.

   I was just searching for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.
