.htaccess

.htaccess is a very ancient configuration file that controls the Web Server running your website, and is one of the most powerful configuration files you will ever come across. Htaccess is sometimes called: “HyperText Access” because of its ability to control access of the WWW‘s HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using Password Protection, Allow and Deny capabilities, and more.

Htaccess files use the default filename “.htaccess” but any unix-style file name can be specified from the main server config using the AccessFileName directive. The file isn’t .htaccess.txt, its literally just named .htaccess.

Static URLs are known to be better than dynamic URLs for a number of reasons:
Static URLs typically rank better in search engines.
Search engines are known to index the content of dynamic pages much more slowly than that of static pages.
Static URLs look friendlier to end users.

Example of a dynamic URL
http://www.yourdomain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7

Examples of the above static URL
http://www.yourdomain.com/profile-mode-view-u-7.html
or
http://www.yourdomain.com/profile/mode/view/u/7/

//example
//Method 1 - Single Page URL
//ex dynamic URL
//http://www.domain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7

//After converting your dynamic URL
//http://www.domain.com/profile-mode-view-u-7.html

//Create a .htaccess file with the code below
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule profile-mode-(.*)-u-(.*)\.html$ profile.php?mode=$1&u=$2


//Method 2 - Directory Type URL
//ex. dynamic url
//http://www.domain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7

//After converting your dynamic URL
//http://www.domain.com/profile/mode/view/u/7/

//Create a .htaccess file with the code below

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule profile/mode/(.*)/u/(.*)/ profile.php?mode=$1&u=$2
