Question

but i want urls like

Answer 1

I happen to use this in .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l 

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

This essentially calls index.php no matter what is requested. Then inside your PHP code you can look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the URL and parse it accordingly.

The RewriteCond lines are there to exclude direct calls to files. In my case I don't want stuff like requests for js/css/image files to go through index.php for performance reasons.
