Ray's entry was the basis of what I used as well, with one addition. I set up so that users can specify a "friendly url" for any given article or page ---- those are then added to a table. So before it goes to the url parser, I do a database lookup:
http://site.com/donate.htm actually = http://site.com/index.cfm?page=module&moduleid=42 If that fails, I pass it to Ray's function and it returns the values. This came in very handy when I did a site migration recently -- I had to merge two very large sites of two separate nonprofits. The site that shut down, I was able to keep all of the original url's for all for their content by tagging their urls into the friendly url field in my database. Now the page simply pulls up with either link.
