Hi,
I'm currently preparing a website which was built using Zend Framework.
I'm using the common URI scheme
http://myhost/mypage.php/letter/a
to transport parameters in a request. In some cases, additional get
parameters are used.
This website is about to launch so we are discussing usability, e.g. the
possibility of bookmarking and the adressability of pages.
To shorten URLs and given them a proper naming, the idea was to use a
frameset as an envelope for the application to hide the 'real' URLs from
the user and use the rewrite engine and a small front php script to make
the frameset show the desired page, e.g. a call to
http://myhost/mypage
would open
http://index.php?page=http://myhost/mypage.php/letter/a
Is this a proper way for creating user friendly URLs? And how do the
spiders behave in such scenarios?
Do you have any ideas or recommendations?
cheers,
Stephan
