Get INPUT_GET of friendly url

Question

Hello, my system has two panels. One Admin without any optimization in SEO, another user, where he can post articles and more. It turns out that I use a query to search the folder and returns the requested file through the url.

It turns out my front system is optimized, so . php file terminations have been removed for SEO. Making the URL below unusable

Example:

meusite.com/user/Dashboard.php? get=articles/create

note that Dashboard.php does the request of the articles folder and the file create within it, but returns 404. Now let’s assume that I change "?" by & and remove . php from the URL the file is returned correctly. Thus:

meusite.com/usuario/dashboard&get=articles/create

This is not recommended, so how to proceed? Thanks for the help.

About the script that removes . php is a general function, so there is no folder check or something like that.

If you only have 1 parameter to grab you can do:

meusite.com/usuario/dashboard&get=artigos/criar:

$param = explode('&', $url); // array('meusite.com/usuario/dashboard', get=artigos/criar)
$param = explode('=', $param[1])[1]; // artigos/criar

But beware that it can have several parameters:

EX: meusite.com/usuario/dashboard&get=artigos/criar&get2=miguel:

$params = explode('&', $url); // array('meusite.com/usuario/dashboard', 'get=artigos/criar', 'get2=miguel')
$gets = array();
for($i = 1; $i < count($params); $i++) { // atenção que não precisamos do index 0 do array params
    $param = explode('=', $params[$i]);
    $gets[$param[0]] = $param[1];
}
// $gets = array('get' => 'artigos/criar', 'get2' => 'miguel');
