    1. What is the question? 2. What is the problem? 3. What have you tried? (can and does include google search) 4. Where have you failed? –  May 01 '12 at 02:30
  • “only shows paths as below” — have you included the ”below” section? – vyegorov May 01 '12 at 15:21
  • @Shingetsu . Here is what I am talking about. See the webpage http://www.stockashop.co.uk/. Now when you click any of menu & sub-menu item it will open a new page but the Url remains "http://www.stockashop.co.uk/pages/collarways-case-study/6651" no .php or html or any other extension for page. – Dilip Kr.

This is known as URL routing. The developer has configured the webserver (or web application) to map specific URL paths to individual webserver pages (.php, .aspx, .mvc, or whatever). There are different ways of achieving this, depending on the webserver platform technology, but it is generally achieved by configuring a url route map of some kind. There are several advantages to organising a website url's in this way but mainly it makes URL's more consistent and easier to understand for users, and hides the details of the website's underlying implementation.
