How to realize the wordpress permalink function on an homemade php website

I'm realizing a php website and I'm trying to split all the files in a way that should give me the possibility to update them easily. In the current structure I've:

  • header.php
  • menu.php
  • footer.php

These files are included in the following pages:

  • page1.php
  • page2.php
  • page3.php

On each one of the pages above I write specific content. At the end my urls are:

http://www.example.com/page1.php http://www.example.com/page2.php http://www.example.com/page3.php

But what I would like to do is to reproduce the wordpress structure that uses index.php only as output.

So, just to go more in detail, I would like to realize an index.php inside of which I'll include just one time:

  • header.php
  • menu.php
  • footer.php

and including the page1.php content, the page2.php content and the page3.php content. At the end I need to have as URL a permalink that says:

http://www.example.com/page1 http://www.example.com/page2 http://www.example.com/page3

I've checked on the web but seems there's nothing online useful for my needs and when I check "permalinks" users talk only of wordpress. Could you help me please on this activity? Tell me if my request is not so clear or I'm wrong on something. Thanks!

You need mod_rewrite, see some examples: workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite - one of examples solves your problem -> index.php page with page parameter... - sinisake

Thanks to the link suggested by @nevermind I solved the issue. Below the solution...

  1. I created a .htaccess file with inside the following code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

  1. I created an index.php file with the following code:

<html>
   <head>
      <title>Test Page</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <?php include $_GET['page'].'.php'; ?>
   </body>
</html>
  1. I uploaded the two files in the same folder (/test/) together with the file "introduction.php".
  2. Considering I wanted to open the page "introduction.php" I pasted the following URL in the browser:

http://www.example.com/page/test/introduction

That's all! Thanks guys for your support. I hope this can help other users looking for the same solution.

page#.php will have to be like this:

 <?php 
   include_once('header.php');
   include_once('menu.php');
   //body content of page#
   include_once('footer.php');
 ?>

you will still have 3 files with the same url but the header ,footer and menu will be the same across the pages
