You sure google gets hung up on ids?

You're right, it does not anymore.

however, there are other SE's out there - why take the chance if you don't have to.

Thanks for your help.

I changed all id= to item= in the script. I would like to use .htaccess but need help because the variable is a combinaison of numbers and letters.

Some url I want to rewrite:
http://personal-advisor.cyber-boutik...=411be29c76efe
http://personal-advisor.cyber-boutik...=4117e43021452

I want something like:
http://personal-advisor.cyber-boutik.../411be29c76efe
http://personal-advisor.cyber-boutik.../4117e43021452

But not really sure if I need that to get indexed by search engine

So I wrote this in .htaccess:
================================================== ==
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^item/([A-Za-z]+)$ index.php?item=$1
================================================== ==

Any advice?

Since you have index.php in the URLs you want, there is no need to bother with .htaccess at all. Your PHP script just needs to be modified, and I believe there is an article on websitepublisher that can help.

If you wish to remove the .php, look into using ForceType application/x-httpd-php
