Hello, I am wondering how you can dynamically build URI's so you dont have to show the id=3 Given this example URL
www.example.com/area-information.php?countryID=12&stateID=4&cityID=3892 How could you dynamically refer to the same information but displayed like this:
www.example.com/area-information/United-States/Texas/Houston So basically dropping the .php from area-information.php, and converting all the variables to look like sub folders? Any ideas? Thanks,
Ryan

To access this url:
www.example.com/area-information.php?countryID=12&stateID=4&cityID=3892 You may rewrite it as:
www.example.com/area-information/12/4/3892 You should create an .htaccess file with this content should looks like: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!\.(gif¦jpg¦php¦pl¦swf¦css¦txt)$
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ /area-information.html?countryID=$1&stateID=$2&cityID=$3 [L] (It may not work at once, this is just an example, the idea how it should be.)

You could still rewrite the URI as the following:
www.example.com/area-information/United-States/Texas/Houston
However you'd have to find the IDs again for that data through your php script. If you can't do this, or it causes too much of a problem, you are probably better off going with the URI format described in the post above.

To use eelix format: If the ID exists (as it should) then it could be passed via a SESSION or by a HIDDEN value
