I do have a cheap script that seems to work well for me. But the industry is pretty savvy and often looks upon users of this script as too small to play ball.

Is there anyway I can eliminate or camoflage the portion of the url that identifies my script?

thanks

mod_rewrite is your friend.

May require changes to your script, as well, if it generates links.

mod_rewrite will let you use:

example.com/products/product_id

instead of:

example.com/cgi-bin/example.php?id=product_id

for example.

If your script generates links, you will need to change it to generate the links in the new, "flat" format.

thanks so much

i farm out all my tech work, but at least i know it's doable - what to call it and can ask my tech to configure it

i lost my best ever tech last fall when he went to grad school and since then it's been hit or miss

i've probably worked with 6 or 8 different techs since then with mostly misses, but i figure I'll get lucky sooner or later and stumble onto the right person

most either want a king's ransom
can't work you in, as they are too busy already
or take 4 to 5 weeks to do a simple update
or simply can't do as agreed

sometimes I think of learning but i wear too many hats as is

thanks alot :)
