Rewrite id to keyword ?

I have developed a script and its using some id for each post or user,

eg : site.com/?id=12 etc

But for SEO and other options I just want to change those ID to keyword or text.

So what should I do ?

Can anyone please help ?

 

Instead of querying the database by the id, use the post title..
You could look in to mod_rewrite with .htaccess if you want to make your URL's SEO friendly

 

Good Suggestion.
But what I need is www.site.com/keyword/

It it possible ?

 

Redirect all requests to index.php, then analyse the request url and see which page is requested. You'll need a routing file to keep track of which page applies to which id, then simply show that ID as normal.

Dan.

 

You can add this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|sitemap\.xml|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [L]

Code (markup):

It will pass query string to index.php (unless it's calling assets folder or sitemap.xml/robots.txt).

Then you can use domain.com/var1/var2/ and if you add

echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

PHP:

in your index.php it will output "var1/var2"

 

Can you discuss in details @steeze ? I also need to do same thing ....

 

Imagine a MySQL database, with post_id column. You would need to adapt the script so post_id now becomes internet-marketing etc. Then instead of querying MySQL (through PHP) with the post_id of a number, you do it with the text.

Further details: Google 'Keyword Slugs'.

 

My problem is here. I know how to make clean url using rewrite engine for //www.sitename.com/index.php?ca...cat=Serverside

but if my current site url is generated like this: user.php?id.250 and news.php?id.450 or download.php?id.450

I want to make clean url from content (title in the content) from user.php?id.250 and news.php?id.450

.com/download.php?id.450.54, will be .com/download/games/nfs-2/

note that "nfs-2" and "games" did not come from url and it came from the page content..

What I want to do can be called same like this forum thread as id to keyword..

Can you please refer us to article or project ?

 

Wordpress does it in one of its plugins. Look at the source or Google "use of slug mod rewrite"...

Sorry I can't give cut and paste code, but it depends on how your site is setup...
