URL issue ... need help with this :/

[bitsys]

hello members
I have created a php website and its almost complete but the only thing that keeps bugging me is the way url is being displayed. To be more specific i have the link showing up in the address bar in eg www.mywebsite.com/index.php?page=contact fashion whereas i want it to be displayed as www.mywebsite.com/contact.
kindly help me with this issue..

thanks in advance

You need to use .htaccess file to make 'friendly' urls, so create a file called .htaccess (if not already there) in your site root and add something like this (not tested):

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\$ index.php?page=$1
