Dynamic pages which appear static

    I'm just wondering if anyone has any way to dynamic pages look like static pages in PHP? Is this something that has to be done at the server level or is there a script trick that can be used?

    Example:
    My current pages are software.php?id=##

    Where ## is the id number of that product, but I'd rather have it be...
    software##.php where ## is the ID number, but I don't want to have to create an actual file for each script.

    Anyone have any tips on how I might do this? or something similar?

    no sure if I understand the question but you should check the Apahce-->.htaccess section for URL mod_rewrite

    You'll find it's actually quite easy

    My rewrite hint: always specify the RewriteBase.

    Perfect. That looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for.

    Thanks everyone!
