ok, On My Site The Links Are Displayed as

article.php?id=34 or index.php?category=photoshop etc.

But I Want To Make The Links Like;

index/category/photoshop or article/id/34

Any Ideas?

htacess using Apache's Mod_Rewrite.

i cant provide exact code, but basically it involvs adding some bits to your .htacess file.

bare in mind that all urls must be full other wise u will end up with a ton of 404 and missing images


try looking at some of these:

and this: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Apache/Se...h-mod-rewrite/

What Do You Mean All Links Must Be Full? Do You Mean Absoulte Linking Instead Of Relative?
Does Google Work With They Style Of Links Or Does It Not Understand The ? mark?.

yea sorry couldnt remember the word.

its because if you convert page.php?pg=45 to page/45/ the server can understand its not really in a folder but the browser dont so when it sees a url to images/pic.jpg then it will try to get it from page/45/images/pic.jpg

Do you get what i mean?

Hope this helps

If you add this to your existing .htaccess in the root directory it should do the trick.

 RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*) $1.php?$2=$3

Its more a remap than rewrite. It maps any match in the first half of the rule with an existing URL. Using the rule above 'index/category/photoshop' will map to 'index.php?category=photoshop'.

As said all you source URLs will need rewriting - images, css files etc. If they're all in the root directory then simply adding a / at the beginning should sort it. 'css/style.css' would become '/css/style.css'

cheers For That,
Does Every Link For That Site Have To Be Absolute Or Can I Make Some Relative?.
Does Linking This Way Increase Security?.

technically no but theres no benifit to it.

no not really, BUT if u have absolute and someone nicks ur page it means you can get the link backs etc from it and can more easily find who did the nickin (if ur worried )

I've Hit A Problem, My CSS wont work!
<link href="/template/themes/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
thats what i have got for my linking to ap-gfx.com/index it wont display as soon as i changed the linking style to the above how do i fix it.

try a abslute to see if it works
