Creating a blog from scratch without using any PHP framework, the blog will take a folder inside my domain root like this domain.com/blog
How could i make an htaccess file that makes my blog posts take links like this :
domain.com/blog/blog-post-test-link-foo-bar
Instead of this way :
domain.com/blog/post.php?id=1
Also, In my post.php file, i want to select the data of that post similar to the Slug in the url.
How could i do that in pure php way?

Answer 1

You must create the /blog/ folder and inside it you can put an .htaccess file like the following:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . ./index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Then in your index.php you would write something like:
<?php
$base = '/blog/';
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$slug = substr($uri, strlen($base));
// Identify the ID of the post
// You identify the ID by searching your posts database on a field like "slug"
// But for now we'll just load from an array
$posts = array(
'blog-post-test-link-foo-bar' => 1
);
$postId = isset($posts[$slug]) ? $posts[$slug] : null;
if (!is_null($postId)) {
// Load the post from the database,
// or use it if you already loaded it together with the ID
echo "Loading!";
} else {
echo "Invalid post!";
}
