Return PHP page based on directory base-name without redirect

I want the server to return a specific PHP page based on the directory name without a redirect. For example:

http://www.example.com/home

should return the same result as:

http://www.example.com/index.php?page=home

but it shouldn't redirect the address

If you are using Apache you can look into htaccess scripts. There are a ton of options available through a google search

PHP can't do this without a redirect, but there are a host of solutions:

Use mod_rewrite with apache (.htaccess)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^home$ /index.php?page=home

Another would be to add an index.php to /home thats only function is to include the document root index.php.

you need to create a special file called '.htaccess' and put it in your web application root directory. File content could be like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/home$ /index.php?page=home [L]

Then configure Apache (httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf) to allow your web application to use that .htaccess config file

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/webapp"
    ServerName localhost
    <Directory "/path/to/your/webapp">
        AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This is a good read.
