Question

I want to change my website\'s dynamic urls to Search Engine Friendly URL\'s

Now the urls like this www.website.com/news.php?id=127591 , I want it became this www.websit

Answer 1

Please try this rule in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?id=([0-9]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^news\.php /news/%1? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+) /news.php?id=$1 [L,NS,NE,QSA,NC]

UPDATE:: Based on your comments:

Inside news.php when URL doesn't have /some-title then output this META tag to stop indexing /news/987 type URIs:

Once you notice URI of /news/987/some-title inside news.php simply mask above META tag. I have tested it and seems to be working fine so let me know if doesn't work for you.
