Meaningful URLS

How to generate meaningful URLS.

[Tom_Cash]

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to go about making urls like this:

www.widgets.com/webmaster_world
www.widgets.com/webmaster+world

I've seen other sites do it and to me it looks like a get statement without the page.php?id= at the start.

I would love to be able to do this for a site of mine where a unique band title is pulled from the database and can be used in my URL like the above.

Regards,
Tom.

you could start here
[webmasterworld.com...]

on apache servers it's called mod_rewrite

That is usually done with Apache Web Server's Mod_Rewrite Module. Have a look at apache forum, there is allot of information on that topic there. And the Guy there named jdMorgan is a King of that stuff ;)

Oh maybe i pressed the submit button a few seconds late :)
