Answer 1

Yes. You need to have a look at the "URL Rewrite".

Here's a link: URL rewrite

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Some quick guidelines how I would do it:

Start from the url www.example.com/blog.php?id=1

You get the id from the url:

$blogId = $_GET['id']

Then your SQL query:

SELECT * FROM blogs where id = $blogId

Build your page with the result of this query.

To get the url showed like you want: URL Rewriting

Answer 3

You have o search for two things:

1. mod_rewrite / url rewriting, because on your server won't be a folder called /blog/this-is-my-blog-title (mod_rewrite will redirect that url to your eg index.php which does the rest)

2. you need that index.php which does the rest for you -> converting an url-blog-title into your real blog title in your database to fetch its content. The most easiest way is by using urlencode() , but then it will look really ugly. You need some script / code which converts whitespaces into hyphen (-) There are also some tutorials out there, just search for "seo friendly blog urls" for example.
