Create an .htaccess text file in your root directory.

Type this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [PT,L]

When you this on your address bar:
“http://www.mysite.com/directory1/page”

the directory1/page will be passed to the “index.php?page=”.
like this one:
“http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=directory1/page”.
but without the “index.php?page=”.

after that, you can use $_GET[‘page’] for navigation.

Hope this helps.
