SE-Friendly URLs

Hi,

Does your directory (or directories you know of) use .htaccess mod_rewrite for search engine friendly urls, or does it select categories from a database by their title rather than ID?

I'm wondering which is the easiest way to do it. Would a several thousand line htaccess file slow apache down significantly?

Cheers.

 

SE friendly URLS by an0n send him a PM he will let you know the price and all other info

 

I don't need anyone to do it for me, I'm asking for the best and most efficient method.

Thanks though.

 

For all Seo Friendly urls be it directory or forums .htaccess mod_rewrite is used.

I have not seen any other method so far.

 

most directory scripts use mod rewrite for seo friendly urls. that's the easiest way to do it.

 

Maybe popping along here and looking will help., http://forum.modrewrite.com/

 

Sorry, I didn't phrase my question correctly AT ALL. Let me start again.

Ok, I KNOW I'll be using mod_rewrite for my URLS, but what I was trying to ask is:

Do the RewriteRules point to dir.php?cat=1&subcat=2&subsubcat=3 and then dir.php SELECTs the categories from the database using the id numbers, or does the rule redirect to dir.php?cat=Arts-and-Humanities&subcat=Photography&subsubcat=Porno and then dir.php SELECTs from the DB using the titles?

Maybe someone with a copy of PHPDL or other script could post me a chunk of their .htaccess file?

Sorry for the confusion.

 

check your pm.

 

Thanks for that.

It looks way over my head at the moment, but it's nothing an afternoon of good ol' fashioned learnin' won't fix.

Cheers.
