Message:

In my php code i have passed the variables in url as slug like :

https://localhost/subject/index.php?sub=web-technology

Here sub is the variable name where web-technology is passes as slug from the database, and then the url is rewritten by .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

# Turn mod_rewrite on

RewriteEngine On



# To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f

RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]



Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^subject/index/sub/(.*) /subject/index.php?sub=$1

RewriteRule ^subject/index/sub/(.*)/ /subject/index.php?sub=$1

From there the url I got is

https://localhost.com/subject/index/sub/web-technology/

or

https://localhost/subject/index/sub/[Any_Value]/

The php code I have in my web is

$subject =mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['sub']);

on where I want the slug value in GET variable and match it in database to get the respective data. I cannot get the variable so I cannot retrieve the information from my database.

Can anyone help me with it or can give different ways on how I can make it work properly?

My Answer:
To get the passed variable from the URL that has been rewritten by .htaccess in PHP, you can use the $_GET superglobal array. In this case, since the variable name is "sub", you can access the value of the variable like this:

php
$sub = $_GET['sub'];
echo $sub;


This will output "web-technology" in this case. You can then use this variable in your PHP code as needed.
