Yeah, mod_rewrite on Apache is VooDoo. You could look for a host that
uses lighttpd, the rewrite module makes more sense from my perspective.
I outsource
my hosting and do not have direct access to my server. Will the
mod-rewrite be possible in this case?
It will depend on your hosting company but you should be able to put
rewrite directives in .htaccess
Also, is knowledge of Perl an
extreme must? I know very, very little Perl.
You only really need to know how to format PCRE regexes.
Lindsay Evans suggested I use header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); in my PHP
script for the header. Do you think this would be a temporary solution
until I learn more about mod_rewrite?
I would say that it's a must. If your returning a content document
then you need to be returning an HTTP code that reflects that. If the
document isn't there then you need to reflect that too.
Hope this helps,
