What you are looking for is called [mod_rewrite](https://www.google.ro/?q=mod_rewrite) — Mihai Matei, May 24 '16 at 10:35

As others pointed out, you'll need some rewrite rules, e.g. with Apache's mod_rewrite module. Put this in a file called .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/(.+)$ /index.php?slug=$1 [L]

This will redirect urls like /blog/test123 to index.php?slug=test123, you'll certainly need to edit it to meet your requirements, afterwards, you can echo the new urls with PHP.

Hint: This is a rather common task and is likely to work better with some kind of Framework, i.e. with Wordpress, Slim, CodeIgniter or Laravel. Additionally, please update to mysqli_-functions or PDO as mysql_ has been deprecated centuries ago...

you can use str_replace and remove the ?slug= from the url.

$url = "<h3><a href='http://localhost/blog/?slug=".$rows['blog_slug']
$url = str_replace("?slug=", "", $url);
echo $url ." >".$rows['blog_title']."</a></h3>";

or just remove the "?slug=" from the string.

$url = "<h3><a href=http://localhost/blog/".$rows['blog_slug']; echo $url ." >".$rows['blog_title']."</a></h3>";

$url = "http://localhost/blog/?slug=what-is-lorem-ipsum" list($one, $two) = explode("?slug=", $url); echo $one.$two;//will echo: http://localhost/blog/what-is-lorem-ipsum

You can try this:

You can use the explode() function to take out what you want, and then rejoin the separated peaces:

$url = "http://localhost/blog/?slug=what-is-lorem-ipsum"
list($one, $two) = explode("?slug=", $url);
echo $one.$two;//will echo: http://localhost/blog/what-is-lorem-ipsum
