I want my urls to look like: http://www.site.com/state/This-is-a-Keyword-phrase/ the keyword phrase will come from two columns of database data. So I guess I have to create a mod-rewrite and account for the dashes. Is there a standard script for this? what is the easiest to use? Please help!
I think you're looking for software, not mod_rewrite rules. You'll need to actually access this data somehow from the db and then SEO the paths.
