How to make SEO friendly URL structure using PHP?

Hi,

I need to send product id with URL something like this:

http://www.example.com/product.php?id=292&name=sony-digital-camera

Code (markup):

But this URL is not good enough for seo.
Can anyone please let me know how to pass the ids and name (without "product.php") so that I will extract the id later

http://www.example.com/sony-digital-camera-292.php

Code (markup):

All the operation takes place at "product.php" so I can't ignore it.
But I don't want "product.php" page to be shown in URL.

After rendering "product.php" page with respective product id, I'll get all of the parameters like name, price, description etc.
Then now the URL of page would have to be (like this)

http://www.example.com/sony-digital-camera-292.php

Code (markup):

(without "product.php")

Thank you in anticipation

 

Mod_rewrite is what you're looking for =]

It's even easier to do if you are programming with a framework like Zend.

 

You will need to use mod_rewrite. Depending upon the structure of your urls you need to write some lines in .htaccess file.
