    Hi to all,

    In my sites, I have a article section separately. The url for the article section and each and every articles url is not SEO friendly. So, any one please let me know how to write the SEO friendly URL's?

    For your reference here is the URL structure: http://www.domain.com/Articles/viewArticle.php?id=37

    I want to rewrite the above URL as a SEO friendly with the corresponding article title. Please help me.

    Thanks in Advance,

    If you are using any kind of CMS like Joomla or Wordpress then , there is a plugin for that , if not you have to use mod_rewrite with htaccess file

    What you want is written in your php files,
    and then you write a few lines in a .htaccess file, possible something like this, which at the moment should out-put http://www.domain.com/viewArticle_37.htm without editing any files.

    
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^viewArticle_([^/]+)\.htm?$ Articles/viewArticle.php?id=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ Articles/viewArticle.php?id=([^&]+)\ HTTP/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ viewArticle_%1\.htm? [R=301,L]
    PHP:
    As above you need to edit the corresponding php file so instead of id number it shows the title of the article, when you do that edit the htaccess above.
