[/snip] mod_rewrite: A Beginner's Guide to URL Rewriting http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting [aha moment] I finally get it. PHP developers are the smartest people on the planet and therefore we know and use everything. JavaScript, Java, C++, SQL, network management, Apache internals, women and even PHP. That is why people come on this list to ask questions totally unrelated to PHP even if they try to relate it to PHP by including the URL of a PHP page within the request. Neat. So I am going to change my attitude. I will answer all questions that I can, knowing that if I fail someone else on the PHP list will pick up my slack....because we know everything and we should share. I wonder if PHP developers should start wearing special robes or sit on a designated hilltop somewhere? If we do get robes, can they be blue? (It'll bring out the color in my eyes and go well with my pickup truck. Why didn't this occur to me sooner? I could have solved several other things without sarcasm or reservation. I could have been more 'enlightened'. My journey will have to start now.... [/aha moment]
