kickoff3pm Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi everyone, thanks for looking. I use oscommerce shopping cart but to make it fit in with my type of site I have changed some database table field names. For example the is one named "MANUFACTURES" I've changed that to "SEASONS". Because I've matched these changes in the PHP code the cart still works fine. Here's the problem - Because I've changed the the field names my desktop manament software can't pull in these those field renamed. It's not a big problem but makes updates a bit long winded. So what I want to do is revert back to the correct field names but still have the site look how it is now ie. like this; http://www.mysite/shop/index.php?seasons_id=14 NOT http://www.mysite/shop/index.php?manufacturers_id=14 So the question is - is the a way to query the database field with one name MANUFACTURES but output SEASONS in the url ? Not sure really if this is a PHP question now, anyway any ideas welcome.

revraz Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The URL is used in a GET statement in PHP, you can always use PHP to change them around.
