SEO Friendly URLs with PHP

ModRewrite needs to be enabled in apache2 by executing:
a2enmod rewrite

Modify your HTaccess File like this if index.php is your main php File:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?i=$1 [L,QSA]

  For example, if the user enters the URL yourdomain.ending/wiki/testcategorie
you can fetch the url parameters like this in your PHP Script:

     $location = explode("/", htmlspecialchars(@$_GET["i"]));

Location is now a array with the URL values inside it.

In our example
yourdomain.ending/wiki/testcategorie

The array would be like:

location[0] = wiki
location[1] = testcategorie

Now you can load your modules with a switch/case loop or do anything else what you need to do with that
URL informations.
