You can use [url re-writting](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16388959/url-rewriting-with-php) to display some thing different in `html`. — Umair Khan, Jul 31 '20 at 07:08
you can create a [rewrite rule](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html) to help — Professor Abronsius, Jul 31 '20 at 07:09

You will need to use URL re-writing.

On Apache Digital Ocean Article:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^about$ about.html [NC]

will route:

http://your_server_ip/about, because of the rule definition.
http://your_server_ip/About, because the rule is case insensitive.
http://your_server_ip/about.html, because original proper filename will always work.

But I strongly suggest that you stay away from it as much as is possible. Instead, start using a framework like Laravel, Codeigniter etc. Then you can name your Controller/action anything and would not have to write complex URL re-write rules.

This is not possible. A href can’t be hidden from a link. But the files can be rewritten and the request URL can be changed to look like this − login.php/5001

Other than this, a post request can be used in the below way −

<form method="post" action="login.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="userinfo" value="5001">
    <button type="submit">Log in</button>
</form>

This will expose a single button in the browser.
