I see a script on the doc page to create a dbm map using perl - know of any php equiv? google's not showing anything. I have nothing against perl, just looking to keep everything in the same software. 3. The text file format appears to use spaces to separate the map items. If either of these contains a space assume can URL encode? E.g. stupid%20url stupid-url > I haven't tried it, but if you just point directly at the php > script, then if the script emits a Location header with the > hostname/protocol part, you might get an internal redirect. Interesting, apache 2 only? Think I'll steer clear of this for now. ;) > I don't know why .htaccess files would matter. Since this feature for URL rewrites is enabled via the CMS for a site, I don't want to have to play with httpd.conf so if a RewriteMap directive could be entered into a .htaccess it'll make my life a lot easier. Looking at the docs though it appears I'm not able to use this in .htaccess "Context: server config, virtual host". Thanks for you help - are you on #apache IRC?
