Totally digging this article, but like the above comment by @Marc: “How does the web server know that this is the URL it should go to?”

Also, how does this relate to the mod_rewrite and .htaccess? Do we also need to use that as well as this PHP function?

Please let me know!

I got around this before by adding an extra step:print("$this->FixDashed = str_replace("-"," ",$_POST['SOMEPOST']);$this->SEOName = generate_seo_link($this->FixDashed,'-',false,$bad_words);");Dave or anyone else, I am wondering if you knew of a way to get around this in the function itself instead of adding the extra step to basically trick it into doing this.

/great-php-functions/ => post.php?id=2382

IE if I just did
http://www.testdummyurl.com/great-php-functions
with nothing special….my webserver would give a 404
so what do we need to do to let our webserver know that this actually
http://www.testdummyurl.com/ post.php?id=2382

thanks,
Kram
