Mutley Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have a list of categories, that are like: <a href="list.php?cat=2">Ice Cream</a> I figure, that refering to an ID column, is more efficent and suitable than using the category name (for queries). So if I did a mod_rewrite, it would look like: mydomain.com/categories/2 However, what I would like it to do is: mydomain.com/categories/Ice_Cream Now I figured that I can't do this because I would lose the ID reference? Any soloution to this? And how would I auto include a underscore to replace spaces? Thanks in advance, Nick.

Helmet Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Use <a href="list.php?cat=ice_cream">Ice Cream</a> and build a php function to get the category id from the cat value Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/153501-clean-urls-questions/#findComment-806625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
