I have a website which holds articles. So right now theres a page called viewarticle.php and i use GET to send the article id so that it will be retrieved by MySQL database (for eg. viewarticle.php?id=2 loads article no. 2) But instead of that is there a way of refering to the links by article titles for eg. I have an article called "Intro to linux" so can it have a link like /website/articles/intro-to-linux/ ?

I dont know whether these are called dynamic links or not. If someone could tell me I would be most pleased.
Thanks in advance, Athul

i just add another field onto the mysql database called "seourl" which has the value "intro-to-linux" then rather than doing a lookup on the id do a lookup on that seourl.

you need a url rewrite to be able to make them urls you mentioned, such as with htaccess

This is one of my favorite website: Click Here
Here htaccess code is generated based on your selection, you just need to add it in root of your project.
