how to Change a GET method URL to clean URL in php?

Question

This is an URL that created by GET method in php to send DATA parameter to archives.html page:

http://127.0.0.1/archives.html?option=com_archive&date=16-2-2014

Is there any way to clean this URL?

I want to do something like this (and I can send parameter too!)

http://127.0.0.1/archives.html/16-2-2014

Can I do that by mod_rewrite?

(I am developing a component on joomla3)

Answer 1

You can use this rule in your root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(archives\.html)/([0-9-]+)/?$ /$1/?option=com_archive&date=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

Answer 2

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /archives.html?option=com_archive&date=$1 [L]

This htaccess would do this job for you by url i assume this is joomla

Answer 3

One way to do this in PHP:

$original_url = 'http://127.0.0.1/archives.html?option=com_archive&date=16-2-2014';
$new_url = explode('?', $original_url);
$clean_url = $new_url[0];
