As htaccess was mentioned as a tag, it would be assumed your using Apache

1. create a .htaccess file if it doesn't already exist (it might be / probably is hidden)

2. paste this into it

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f                [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule .  -                                  [L]
    RewriteRule ^$ index.php                          [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?id=$1
   

so given mysite.com/about - about becomes the value of $_GET['id'] in PHP

In index.php do as you please with that variable - include($_GET['id']); or run a case on it or ...

"Roughly" how Wordpress works. index.php responds to everything; all files / pages / blog posts are handled by index.php and it's functions / classes.

Any href's link to it as above - "/about" or "/contact" or "/products"
