[SOLVED] URL shortcuts

[ukweb]

Hi,

 

I've fotgotten what it is called where you have like 'forwarding' url aliases, and it is something a client wants on their site.

 

For example, instead of having 'http://domain.com/index.php?this=that&another=value' you can set something like 'http://domain.com/about' instead, and it will do the same thing. I've only ever touched on it in the past a couple of times, but for the life of me cannot remember what it is called, and therefore can't google it!

 

Any ideas? Hope it makes sense!

Landing pages?  Or if you mean an actual DNS set up it's just called Web Forwarding I think?

I'm not sure if its a php or an apache thing, its not landing because you can do multiple ones, ie;

 

http://domain.com/?id=121223 becomes http://domain.com/home

http://domain.com/?id=548854 becomes http://domain.com/about

http://domain.com/?id=875547 becomes http://domain.com/products

and so on...

 

cant for the life of me remember what its called but its really bugging me now!
