Is rewrite using htaccess is slower than folder based URLs?
I am creating URLs in my website as
http://example.com/register/
http://example.com/login/
I am creating above URLs by writing following rules in htaccess
RewriteRule register/ /register.php
RewriteRule login/ /login.php
Now its working fine for me, but if I create my URLs by creating seprate folder for `/login/index.php` and `/register/index.php` By creating folders and index.php files inside those I can achieve above functionality easily.
But I want to know which w=one will be faster, I tried both methods but not seen much difference, according to logic and apache specifications and everything which method will be faster and a good method to go with.
My friend says .htaccess rules will be slower, because in case of htaccess first it will check for rules and then it will redirect to the corresponding attached page, this process will take time than folder organization.
http://example.com/register/
http://example.com/login/

RewriteRule register/ /register.php

depends on contents of your htaccess and it would take longer time if and only if you have too many rules in 1 htaccess; however, most users would not notice that since it occurs in server before delivery to users ;)
