如何为网站上的每个产品设置不同的URL？

Question

So I'm working on an affiliate website and I'm trying to figure out how to get a different URL for every product on my website.

So let's say i've got a page called www.mywebsite.com/products with all the different products on there that I get from my database. When I click on one of the products it's supposed to go to the URL www.mywebsite.com/products/testproduct. If I click on a different product it's supposed to go to www.mywebsite.com/products/testproduct 2 etc... How do I get a URL for every product on my product page? I've been searching for a long time and I'm sure it's an easy solution cause every webshop has this function, but I just can't really explain what I want to Google, so that's why I'm asking here.

Is there like a term for this that I can look up? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You could make the website with a GET element.

So you list all your items on the page product/, and when you click on something it will link to testproduct/?id=[itemid]

Then you can use php

$_GET['id'];

and with that you can request all details from the database and print them on the page.

No clue if that helped but that is what I would do.

EDIT: for security reasons (SQL injections) use:

filter_var($_GET["id"], FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
