URL Rewriting Help

[striawe]

Is there any way to rewrite urls in php without using xampp server? I
rewrite when working on xampp, but I am trying to do this in another
way without using htaccess file. For example through database. Is it
possible? Thanks!

Hi,

As far as I know URL rewriting is an Apache thing, not directly xamp.
(Of course the a in xamp is Apache. Duh.)

You need mod_rewrite:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

As far as PHP is concerned, a script is called via apache, URL-rewritten
or not.

Good luck.

Most reverse proxies support this too - but it'd be overkill to
install one *just* to rewrite URLs. I think you need to re-exmine or
restate your reasons for not doing tis with Apache.

For example through database.

.....suggests you're not really understanding how HTTP architecture
works - that's not to say that some potential solutions involve using
a database.
