If you go to wikipedia or a blog, frequently you see links like:
“wiki.com/wiki/Title_of_Page”
and
“someBlog.com/year/month/day/NameOfPost”
Those folders don’t exist and the pages are generated dynamically based on the paths that are typed. What i want to know is how they do that and what settings are being used on the web server, I’m using xampp (Apache) on windows, to make that work.
The closest i have come is:
“site.com/page.php/keyWordsForPage”
and i want
“site.com/anyWord/keyWordsForPage”
