RE: [PHP] URL w/o script name

Another thing to add: by using apache's mod_rewrite you can have your variables (as witty suggested) in the/very/elegant/and/search-engines-readable/way.php I have it working on PHPBeginner.com and several other sites.

I believe it was a Lynx user, or maybe Opera, don't remember. However, the fact is that I suggest actually putting the script name in there. =) Jason Lotito www.NewbieNetwork.net Where those who can, teach; and those who can, learn. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
