You are saying that every project name in your db is unique? — rahul, Feb 04 '16 at 10:58

just update config of your web server For nginx use

rewrite ^/project_name/project_detail.php_([^/]+)/?$   project_name/project_detail.php?id=$1;

for apache:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
rewrite ^/project_name/project_detail.php_([^/]+)/?$   project_name/project_detail.php?id=$1;

Note: for apache you can use it in .htaccess file

after this you must find your project by "project name" instead of id

You can encrypt the id, and the server to decrypt it, but it's stupid. Your server must understand that he look, and if you do not pass id him then he will have to look for another option – Aleksey Solomakha Feb 04 '16 at 11:37

create a .htaccess file in your root and add the following code:-

RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule    ^project/([A-Za-z0-9-]) project-details?pid=$1    [L,QSA,NC]

In the loop where the projects are listed, change their href's to project/project-name/3.
