@NogDogApr 18.2016 — #Generally, for server-side frameworks/configs where all/most requests in actuality get processed by one "controller" file (index.php or whatever you actually use); a common practice is to use "friendly" URLs that are then rewritten by the web server, typically via a .htaccess file configuration in Apache (search for "mod_rewrite"). Therefore, example.com/about would get rewritten as example.com/index.php?page=about, while example.com/products/123 would be rewritten as example.com/index.php?page=products&product_id=123. So the user (and the search engines) only see the "nice" urls while your actual application sees what it needs to interpret them.
Loading PHP Pages Dynamically For On-page SEO
I am my second week into learning PHP & building database-driven dynamic websites.
I noticed that some database-driven websites seem to load their pages from the database
into the main “index.php” page. In terms of on-page SEO & link indexing, is this the best way
to load the pages on your site & get them indexed by Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., or should I
create separate page files (e.g. Home.php, About.php, Contact.php, etc.) for each page of my
website? Whichever is best in terms of SEO, I am willing to try it. Thanks.
P.S.
Oh, & the website that I’m building is an eCommerce website for my fiance. Would like for
the users to be able to click on any product & then load the corresponding details page about
the product either on that index page or on a separate page. Thanks again! 🙂
