What if I dont want to give the real Link?

fishown

I rad about site security and i found that one of the ways are to
hide the real site pages...
so i did a little digging, what i found is sites that use it, no ways to do it.

so im asking, how can i make links that look like that,

are it complicated?

Are you talking about REST urls (or clean urls, or search-engine friendly urls. What are they called again?????)

Anyways, you may be interested in this article.

If this is what you meant, not sure how it's pro-security, besides perhaps hiding that you are using php. However, it's very easy to view the http header and see php exposed.

does 'php exposed' mean that people can view php source code (without access to the server)?

No the header just says something like: "powered by php" something or the other. It just gives the potential attacker a clue as to what to try. Personally, I don't think it's such a big deal if you write secure code.

Yeh i know im not tring to hide the fact im using php,
Just not to show every one the stracture of my site files.
so i wanna use "fake url" or what ever

and i just wanna know how do i make extention like .guide.

You have the right idea. Read Cool URIs don't change. How exactly to go about doing it depends on your web server.

Thank you mate,
But its practicly sejust me why I sould use it not how to do it,

and im tring to find way to make ur like this

www.learnphp.co.il/12.guide

that will direct me into some page...
it makes me wonder, can i $_GET the content of an heref?
of the content of what comming after the "/"?

Okay, since you still did not tell us what is your webserver, I am going to assume that it is Apache and link you to the URL Rewriting Guide. Take a look at "Canonical URLs".

my url is

When I say webserver, I mean webserver software, not your website address.
