I'm trying to write a clean url for my website using the $_SERVER['REQUEST

I have two webpage link together like when a bottom is press it leads to the second webpage. my problem is that I'm trying to get a clean url with the .php removed. now my url looks like this

http://localhost/ecommer flower shop/flowers/list.php

and the second webpage

http://localhost/ecommer flower shop/flowers/about.php.

i want my url to be like

http://localhost/ecommer flower shop/

http://localhost/ecommer flower shop/about

the code i have written for this in index.php

<?php

 if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/') {
 # code...
 return include_once './flowers/list.php';
}

 if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/about') {
 # code...
return include_once './flowers/about.php';
}

but this is not working and gives blank page, i don't know my mistake or what to do to fix code

Default setting of servers software search in directions index files (index.html, index.php). If you rebuild your catalog it can work like you want

/flowers/index.php (/flowers)

/flowers/about/index.php (/flowers/about)

/flowers/something/index.php (flowers/something)

You can use Apache mod_rewrite for this.

write this in your Apache httpd.conf file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)/about$ ($1)/about.php
RewriteRule (.*)/list$ ($1)/list.php

Now you can request http://localhost/flowers/list and Apache will send that request to the file http://localhost/flowers/list.php
