How i use Rewrite Rules in PHP without nginx.conf or .htaccess

Question

I'm designing a website in PHP and I would like to work with rewrite rules. All the forums I look for say to edit nginx's configuration file or apache's htaccess file. How to use rewrite_rules in WordPress without editing anything on server?

Can you please reply with a working sample..

Answer 1

Wordpress does use a rewrite file if the function is enabled and available to the server, basically what the rewrite does it redirect all requests to a main index.php file which then based on the URL format you have configured depends on how the URL is handled.
