Hi I got the issue.
Strangely, my previous codes which i posted here started working too[Yes the same Code].

Now i have two solutions for the same problem.
But earlier one seems more SEO friendly. So i will go with it. ??
Marking this as resolved .

Thanks Little Package!!!!

Thanks Little Package for your time and motivation.
There is some progress with this proble which i am updating here.
I followed the link which you told.
I changed my index.php file as

<?php get_header(); ?>
<form method = “get” action = “<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/product/”>
<input type=”text” id=”tags” name=”name1″ placeholder=”enter a product name” >
<input type=”submit”>
</form>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I also added this line to product.php file
<?php header(‘Location: localhost/wordpress/product/’ . $_GET[‘name1’]); ?>

But it is redirecting me to
https://localhost/wordpress/localhost/wordpress/product/teddy-bear1

Please suggest.

Hi, Here is what i am trying to do… I have only three file for this exercise.
When i enter a product and submit it takes me to the prodct page with this url https://localhost/wordpress/product/?name1=teddy-bear1
But i am unable to access this page if i type below url directly in the address bar
https://localhost/wordpress/product/teddy-bear1
Please help.

1. index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
<form method = “get” action = “/wordpress/product/”>
<input type=”text” id=”tags” name=”name1″ placeholder=”enter a product name” >
<input type=”submit”>
</form>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

2. functions.php

function add_query_vars($aVars) {
$aVars[] = “name1”;
return $aVars;
}
add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘add_query_vars’);

function add_rewrite_rules($aRules) {
$aNewRules = array(‘product/([^/]+)’ => ‘index.php?pagename=product&name1=$matches[1]’);
$aRules = $aNewRules + $aRules;
return $aRules;
}
add_filter(‘rewrite_rules_array’, ‘add_rewrite_rules’);

3. product.php

<?php
/*
Template Name: product
*/
?>
<?php
echo ‘Test for url rewriting….’;
if(isset($wp_query->query_vars[‘name1’])) {
$sMsdsCat = urldecode($wp_query->query_vars[‘name1’]);
echo $sMsdsCat;
}
?>
