You can just urlencode the names. I didn't say it should be the default method, just that it should be an option. A lot of people seem to prefer doing it this way for many reasons, including SEO, not to mention it can make the URL easier to read.

So for example, a link to view the information for user devbanana might look like /users/view/devbanana instead of /users/view/1.
think about all the special chars that users are using while submiting data and think about what conversions you might need to make to allow everything works smoothly :) for example some baltic chars that are not allowed in URL -s: and think how many charsets there are with different chars and possibilities. So it's pretty "simple" to achive while there-s no unicode support in URL -s and DNS afcourse you can urlencode almost anything but that makes it even harder for the users to type in the url. rgds --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
