If you're using apache you could look into the PATH_INFO aspects... basically converting URLS like:
domain.com/path/to/page.php?id=3 to domain.com/path/to/page.php/id=3 then using PATH_INFO and substr() and parse_str() to get to $id = 3.. and you can always add more stuff so it looks like plain html by doing: domain.com/path/to/page.php/id=3-foo.html It does mean changing your code and checking relative links (or using <base href>), but it does work. -philip On Wed, 12 Mar 2003, Chris Hayes (SENSE) wrote: > dear list, > > 1) Currently Google cannot find all pages on my site because most pages are > linked through database-generated selection boxes.
