How to make a url SEO friendly without htacess

Question

Pretty much all the methods I found on the internet for this:

www.website.com/page?id=43432

to be like this

www.website.com/page/43432

are using htaccess , what I'm asking is, whether there is any other way to achieve this?

Answer 1

With Apache and PHP, as far as I know, there isn't.

Without .htaccess the best you can do is to have page like "page.php" which you will use to form all urls, like www.website.com/page.php/43432 . That will add the .php to all your urls.
