    Add a couple of extra columns to the article table - one being the appropriate url, the other a hash with a short (3 or 4 byte) index. So rather than look for '5', you look for the hash of 'article/the_name_of_the_article_here'

    Using DB + .htaccess with mod_rewrite solves your problem :)

    the_name_of_the_article_here is not unique , consider wat if in future you create another article with the same name ?
    Solution
    sitename.com/the_name_of_the_article_here_id or siename.com/id/the_name_of_the_article_here
    where id is unique id , probably from your database article table.

    Well, if you run any CMS, You can just configure it to make URL like that :)

    Are you running on Any CMS? Or Just running a Basic PHP site?

    If it is a CMS, Simply google for the thing you need and you can get it solved :)

    Or else. that would make some Time of Yours :|

    Thanks
