Help -- Url redirects that members can use?

[1alpha]

I need help on this one.

I don't know if javascript, or php or .htaccess is the right solution for this one - so please advise. My programming skills are limited to html and cut and paste. With that in mind here is where I need help.

I have a PHP script that lists properties. It gives each property a listing ID such as 44-10. The Url for the property would be
http://www.mydomain.com/search_id.php?ID=44-10

This is obviously too clumsy to use as a referal url for media advertising. Can I use javascript to redirect so that the member can use an url like
http://www.mydomain.com/44-10 and have it redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/search_id.php?ID=44-10 ?

If so, what is the best method and what is the code to use? I've spent hours looking on the Internet and have not found a solution.

Thanks.

Guy

.htaccess is your tool. Try to google for .htaccess tutorial or mod_rewrite tutorial.
