Apache Pretty URL, finally I know how to do liao 😉

Nice tutorial found on the PHP Books, now I know how to create Pretty URL for the websites or web applications I did 😉

Basically Pretty URL work like this, for example

original “About Us” web address: https://waterblowing.com/?t=1&a=23  (difficult to remember, right?)

after Pretty URL tweak: https://waterblowing.com/about-us  (it’s much better now 😉 )

So, what is Apache and what is PHP/MySQL?

First, talk about PHP. This is a kind web programming language I learn about 3 years ago when I was working for a PC Motherboard company. Since that time my company got no professional website, so I start to selfstudy and learn how to make a nice professional corporate website (I work asregional sales manager, this did boost my sales). PHP is a dynamic web programming language, some sort looks like the C (which I don’t know, lol). The PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page and now the proper name is PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

MySQL is a open source SQL datase engine which work good with PHP and lots of resources online.

Apache is the web engine which turn a computer to serve websites, so when you type in https://waterblowing.com, the internet will bring you to my server and the Apache on server will translate the website and show on your internet browser, all this are done by Apache and it’s open source too ;~)

Time to work on, talk more later 😉 ciao!!!
