Re: User-friendly URI's

It's actually alot easier that you think! for the news file, just create a file called 'news' (minus ' of course! ;) in your http root, then create (or append) a .htaccess with the following lines: <Files news>

    ForceType application/x-httpd-php

</Files> That tells Apache to parse news via PHP. As what you've passed (ie /2002/01/02/keyword) is not a query string, you won't find it in $_SERVER{'QUERY_STRING'}. Instead, its put into $_SERVER{'PATH_INFO'}. It's then up to you to do what you want with it! :) Works for me! :) Hope that helps! :) At 16:00 03.01.2002 -0800, Mike Eheler wrote:

http://www.somesite.com/news/2002/01/02/keyword I've seen some sites do this with other scripting languages (maybe even PHP.. I just don't know).. I like the look of this *way* better. Anyone have any insight as to how I can make that work with an Apache 1.3.xx + PHP 4.1.x setup? "news" would actually be a PHP script, of course. I know how to handle /2002/01/02/keyword as parameters, my question is on making "news" be interpreted through PHP.
