Re: URLS

a little idea to make it nice..... For example you would like http://www.danceportal.co.uk/home/1234567 (looks better without ?). Create a directory /home and put a .htaccess in it wich calls a php-script when a 404-error happens. In the php-script you can parse the 1234567 out of the url. $id = preg_replace("/.+\/([0-9])$/", "\\1", _SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); should do this. Now you can process whatever you want with the id and then make a simple http-redirect to your index.php4 with header().
