Hi Folks, today share with you on how to write a clean URL in PHP, we all know while clean URL is very important for SEO for easy ranking of an article.

Will share my experience on how I was able to write a clean URL in PHP with you guys.

Requirements

Will make use of PHP and my SQL no framework, we are using plain PHP, you can choose to do the same thing with PDO, MYSQLI depends on your codebase.

PHP
MYSQL DATABASE
CONNECTION TO DATABASE
HTACCES
POST TABLE
DISPLAY POST PAGE
DISPLAY PAGE FOR THE POST ARTICLE

Let's begin with those requirements above.

Database Struture

title ->(text)
slug ->(string)->unique
content ->(longtext)
created_at ->(timestamp)

Database Connection

filename -> dbconection.php

$dbhost_name = "localhost";
$database = "naijacrawl"; // Change your database nae
$username = "root";  // Your database user id 
$password = "";     // Your password//////// Do not Edit below /////////try {
$dbo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname='.$database, $username, $password, array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
} catch (PDOException $e) {
print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "
";
die();
}

Creating Post so that it can be inserted to the database

filename-> create_post.php

<html lang="en"><head><title> - Create Post title>
head><body><form method="post" action=""><input name="title"><input name="content"><button name="upload"> Upload button>
form>
body>html>

The upload page is now completed, it remains to write the PHP code that will process it.
