    Hi
    I am trying to make a simple get form that asks the user to enter their name and then it returns their name on the next page, i have managed to do this but now i would like to have nice clean SEO Urls insted of the ugly get urls. How do i make do this?

    I am currently doing:
    Index.php
    <html>
<form action="welcome.php" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" />

<input type="submit" />
</form>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    and

    welcome.php
    <html>
Welcome <?php echo $_GET["name"]; ?>.<br />


</html>
    Code (markup):
    So my question is how to make this have clean urls such as domain.com/'search-phrase'?

    Thanks

    add to the htaccess:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule welcome.php?name=(.*) $1

    Not tested however.
