- Automatic redirection maintained for backward compatibility

**Configuration:**
- `.htaccess` - Updated rewrite rules to hide .php extensions
- Works on both localhost (XAMPP) and cPanel servers
- Requires `mod_rewrite` to be enabled in Apache

**How It Works:**
```
Original URL: https://emporio-sport.it/shop.php
Clean URL:    https://emporio-sport.it/shop
```

### 4. **Currency Change Functionality**

### 6. **Meta Titles & SEO**

- Twitter Card support

**Helper Created:**
- `helpers/meta_manager.php` - Centralized meta tag management

**Usage:**
```php
// In any page
require_once __DIR__ . '/helpers/meta_manager.php';
echo renderMetaTags('page_type', $additionalInfo);
```

**Supported Pages:**
- `home` - Homepage
- `shop` - Shop/Products listing

- `about` - About page
- `contact` - Contact page
- `blogs` - Blog listing
- `blog` - Individual blog post

// Get image URL
$url = $productImageManager->getImageUrl('product-name.jpg');

// Render admin gallery
echo $productImageManager->renderGallery($selectedImage);
```

### 8. **Database Configuration**
- Automatic detection of localhost vs cPanel
- Seamless switching between development and production

**File:** `db_config.php`

**How It Works:**
```
Checks HTTP_HOST for 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'
├─ If found → Uses XAMPP Configuration
│  ├─ Host: localhost
│  ├─ User: root
│  ├─ Password: (empty)
│  └─ Database: login-table
│
└─ If not found → Uses cPanel Configuration
   ├─ Host: maham.usadomainhosting.com
   ├─ User: mahamusa_user
   ├─ Password: tCG!c&lpxW8Q
   └─ Database: mahamusa_db
```
