We have implemented this using AliasMatch directives in the Apache
configuration file.
Here is our recipe:
AliasMatch ^/.+/(.+)\.php /website/$1.php
AliasMatch ^/(.+)\.php /website/$1.php
AliasMatch ^/.* /website/start.php
What this achieves is that any specific reference to a PHP script (even if
apparently buried down in a subdirectory) is actually served by a PHP script
in the document root of the site. Any reference that is not explicitly to a
PHP script is served by the start.php script.
The start.php script looks at the actual URL asked for (using the
$REQUEST_URI variable) and does some database lookups to generate the pages.
So the request for a "page" such as
http://www.pco.powys.org.uk/cap/page2.html is translated by the PHP scripts
to a database lookup for page 2 for user "cap"
You can see this in operation at http://www.pco.powys.org.uk/
If you want any more information, please contact me off the list.
Kind regards
