And thanks Matthew, I've yet to use session variables, but maybe it's time to take a look. Here's our, probably naive, attempt at resolving this issue. 1. Use the ErrorDocument 404 /intercept.php trick in either the httpd.conf or .htaccess to force url's to non-existent files (such as book.html) to the processing script. Break off the extension and stick .php or whatever on the file name. Check if the file exists, process the file or 'include' an 'error_msg.inc'. 2. For encoded variables, use a regexp to check for intercept.php?. If so, capture the remainder of the url to attach to a desired file - using the header() So: in an .htaccess file or... if (...check for some standard means of using fake .html files or whatever) { check for existance of $file.inc, and include some file that makes sense } elseif (preg_match('/intercept\.php\?(.+)/', $REQUEST_URI, $arr)) { header("location: /action.php?$arr[1]"); } else { include "error_msg.html" } Any suggestions for improvement on this?
