Setup like php.net/this?

[FuzzyLogik]

I would like to set up my page to be able to be used like this:

http://www.mysite.com/this

or

http://www.mysite.com/that

(without creating separate folders for each and making an index file )

I am using apache, so if I have to use .htaccess, I can.

you know i have NO idea how they do this but i think it's really cool and i'd definitely like to have it on my sites. as an alternative search feature, ya know? i hope someone knows.

First off, boo_lolly, please don't post posts like that. It is considered spam.  Secondly, you will need a mysql database.

First, you store the page in a database.  I would have a database layout like so:

Table: pages
id
page_title
page_content
created_by
date_created
date_modified

Then you have code that inserts the pages into the database, and a place to edit each page.  I won't go into that, because it is PHP and not mod_rewrite.

Then index.php should do something like, index.php?id=$pageid  where $pageid is the id of the page in the table you just created.  Then index.php will run the query to extract all the information, and display it.  Again, PHP, so I won't go into it here.

Now for the mod_rewrite.
