I would like be able to rewrite URLs,
PHP would be best,
I read there are problems with bookmarking pages with most other techniques, such as frames etc -- (http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general/ho ... ation.html) -- . I am doing this for usability sake and not for security.
For example, I would like to turn these
http://domain.com/folderA/a/b/file_1.php?text?moreText
http://domain.com/anotherFolder/file_2.php?otherText?1
http://domain.com/thisFolder/subFolder/ ... therText?2
into these
http://domain.com/standardFolder/file_1
http://domain.com/standardFolder/file_2
http://domain.com/standardFolder/file_3
the path needs to change, and the file extension and URL parameters need to be removed; while maintaining the functionality of passing variables through the URL (of course)
Thanx,
Nate

Re: rewrite URLs (path, extension, parameters) PHP
To be honest, I don't think that PHP is the best way to do this. Mod Rewrite in apache is really your best bet for doing this cleanly and easily. I don't know of any way to do it in PHP that doesn't seem like a clumsy hack. Someone else might have some ideas, but I'd definitely push you towards setting up Mod Rewrite.

Thanks for the response, I will look into Mod Rewrite and post here how it goes, I may not have access to server configurations I haven't gotten that far yet. I too loathe clumsy hacks

My host doesn't support Mod Rewrite, so the new host, soon, will give me cause to post back here how that goes. Thanks for the reply, keep em coming.
