Multiviews for your website
If you do not want to have you URL look for example like www.yourwebsite.com/news.php?id=12, but more professionally such as www.yourwebsite.com/news/12 you can use multiviews. It should not be that hard to do.. at least if you know what to do.
1. /*
2. To start you add the following sentence to your .htaccess file in the directory you are using (if you are using a webhost and not your own Apache):
3. Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews All
4.
5. Now it is already working on your website, but how can you get the ID you might be asking? Do the following. Put the sentence below in your header and you can use the folders your URL as arrays.
6. */
7.
8. $var = explode('/' , $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
9.
10. /*
11. So if you want to get the ID of your news from for example www.yourwebsite.com/news/12, you will get the information needed from $var['2'].
12. */
