This article I found on the Mind Tree Blog sort of covers old ground for me, but it was interesting nonetheless. It’s interesting the way he doesn’t forward specific things, but rather everything in the URL… so we’d forward something like:
http://www.asgrim.com/channel/Google/news/something/
to:
http://www.asgrim.com/index.php?p=channel/Google/news/something/
and letting the PHP script decode the specifics of the URL, rather than setting up specific forwards like:
http://www.asgrim.com/index.php?module=channel&provider=Google§ion=news&article=something
I’m not sure which I prefer. The method mentioned in the article does give extra flexibility without having to modify the .htaccess, but the latter gives more specification as to how the URLs should work. I guess at the end of the day it’s up to opinion.
