Chris:
Nice article on Search Engine Friendly URLs! Getting ready to convert a site now using the method you've explained. Also seems easier than mod rewrite and I'm all for easier. LOL
I originally logged in to ask a question about the .htaccess, but after searching I found the information already posted.
After seeing what it's suppose to be vs what the article showed, I thought I'd post a suggestion.
On page...
http://www.websitepublisher.net/arti...riendly_urls/3
... where you talk about what is needed to add to the .htaccess file, I only see ....
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
... in the gray box. When I originally saw that, I knew there had to be more to it than that. Searched another site and found ....
<FilesMatch "^something$">
< ForceType application/x-httpd-php >
</FilesMatch>
... as an example. This made a little more sence, but is still a little confusing as I was trying to figure out what ^ and $ did functionally. Then when searching the forums I've found other examples like....
<Files article>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
Ok, I get it now, I think. Will find out in a bit. In the article and example though, <Files article> and </Files> are not shown, which lead to the confusion in the first place. Also another post said something about using SetHandler instead of ForceType on certain configurations.
This also leads me to ask if SetHandler will work on all of them or if it has limitations too. I'm still confused about one article I read (Not on here) is using ^ and $ as part of the filename and would still like to know what the functional purpose for that is.
Anyway... Thanks for a great article otherwise. Now to adapt my scripts with this format and we'll be set. LOL
Take Care,
RJ
