You can implement SEO-friendly URLs with PHP by using URL rewriting. URL rewriting involves capturing incoming URLs and mapping them to a different URL, usually one that is more user-friendly and readable.


Here's an example of how you can implement SEO-friendly URLs using the Apache web server and mod_rewrite:

  1. Enable mod_rewrite in your Apache configuration file (usually located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) by uncommenting the following line: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
  2. Create a .htaccess file in the root directory of your PHP application and add the following code: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
  3. In your PHP script (index.php in this example), you can access the values of the "page" and "id" parameters like this: $page = $_GET['page']; $id = $_GET['id'];


Note: The above example assumes you want to match URLs of the format: example.com/page/id. The regular expression in the RewriteRule directive can be modified to match different URL structures as needed.


This is just one example, there are many ways to implement SEO-friendly URLs with PHP, and the exact implementation will depend on your specific requirements and the tools and technologies you have available.

To implement SEO-friendly URLs with PHP, you can use URL rewriting. Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Modify the .htaccess file: The .htaccess file is used for URL rewriting on Apache servers. You can use the following code to modify it:Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1 [NC,L]
  2. Create a PHP script to handle the URL: You can create a PHP script, such as profile.php, to handle the URL and retrieve the appropriate data based on the URL parameter, such as username. For example:<?php if(isset($_GET['username'])){ $username = $_GET['username']; // code to retrieve data based on the username } ?>


This is just a basic example to give you an idea of how to implement SEO-friendly URLs with PHP. You can customize it to fit your specific needs.
