Changing Page URL To PHP - php

Question

Hi I want to convert pages URL like www.example.com/pictures.php?title=yyoy to something like www.example.com/page/yoyo.php
How can I do this?
www.example.com/pictures.php?title=yyoy these pages are generated when someone upload image to my website so I want to turn these types of URL to like above shown example.
Because these pages can't be index in search engines. Thanks
Picture.php
<?php
include("connection.php");
if(isset($_GET['title'])){
$page_id = $_GET['title'];
$select_query = "select * from save_data where Title='$page_id'";
$run_query = mysql_query($select_query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($run_query)){
$post_id = $row['ID'];
$post_title = $row['Title'];
$post_image = $row['Name'];
$page_title = $_GET['title'];
header('uploads/ ' . $page_title . '.php')
?>
<center>
<h2>
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $post_title; ?>">
<?php echo $post_title; ?>
</a></center>
</h2>
<center><img src="uploads/<?php echo $post_image; ?>" /></center>
<?php } }?>

Answer 1

I have not tested this, but you should use rules similar to the following in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^pictures.php?title=(.+)$ page/$1.php [R]
Note that, you will need mod_rewrite enabled for this to work in apache2

Answer 2

There's a good answer here: Masking $_GET variables of the URL when passing pages in PHP
That will tell you how to mask your URLs.
Alternatively, you could have these files uploaded to a directory in your file structure called "page/" Then you can access the files (as a download) inside the page directory with www.example.com/page/filename.php

Answer 3

Usually I would create an in-between page when posting from a form, but in your case your link looks like this:
www.example.com/pictures.php?title=yoyo
So it directs you to pictures.php with a variable 'title' in the URL.
So on your pictures.php page use:
$page_title = $_GET['title'];
And when you want to go to yoyo.php:
header('Location: $page_title.php')
From your edit this code will redirect the page but it will not display the last HTML:
<?php
include("connection.php");
if(isset($_GET['title'])){
$page_id = $_GET['title'];
$select_query = "select * from save_data where Title='$page_id'";
$run_query = mysqli_query($select_query);
while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($run_query)){
$post_id = $row['ID']; //Just make sure the values between [''] match -
$post_title = $row['Title']; //your columns in database.
$post_image = $row['Name'];
}
header('Location:uploads/$post_title.php');
?>
This will be left out:
<center>
<h2>
<a href="pictures.php?title=<?php echo $post_title; ?>">
<?php echo $post_title; ?>
</a></center>
</h2>
<center><img src="uploads/<?php echo $post_image; ?>" /></center>
<?php } }?>

URE This one
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^pictures.php?title=(.+)$ page/$1.php [R, L]

Answer 5

You should use the .htaccess file. Add this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^picture/([a-zA-Z0-9]+).php$ pictures.php?title=$1
</IfModule>
If you're using a local server like WAMP, be sure to turn on de mod_rewrite or rewrite_module of apache and reboot the server.
You should also Google for Regular Expressions.
