    No penalty and the redirects will happen internally in the web server so it won't actually redirect the client...

    htaccess rewrites are a really cool thing to read up on. I remember when I first started learning them and I realised the possibilities. Might also be worth brushing up on your regular expressions also! :p

    it is like permalinks in wordpress. all of these redirection is done without the 301 http code. the spiders don't see the redirection. for them it is just a html page.

    I agree, what happens is basically the code looks at the url and sets the page to display the content.

    That would be the same as if you said:
    
<?php
if ($something = $somethingelse)
{
echo 1;
}
else
{
echo 2;
}
?>
    PHP:
    The user only sees the echo.
