Steps to rewriting URLs? Am I correct?

Post by mcc_shane »

Hi Everyone,

I've have a basic outline of what I need to do to rewrite my URLS. If what I say is below false or if you think I'm missing something please let me know.

I want my urls to look something like this
mysite.com/cars/for-sale/albany-new-york/2002-ford-explorer

1. I have to write a mysql scrip that will "take" or "grab" the data from the mysql database. I have to save this script by itself. I'm going to call this script cars.php

2. I have to rewrite my .htaccess that will account for my URL changes.

I see all of the above happening in two pages. The "cars.php" page and ".htaccess" page.

What do you guys think? Am I comptely off with my assessment or does more work needed to be done? Give me your thoughts.

Thanks everyone!

You'll probably want to incorporate a front controller to handle the rewritten URLs.

Hi Celauran,

Thanks for the reply. When you say "front controller" what do you mean exactly?

Thanks!
