Hello!
What would you consider to be better:
[1] www.domain.com/index.php/something
<http://www.domain.com/index.php/something>
or
[2] www.domain.com/something.com <http://www.domain.com/something.com>
or
[2] www.domain.com/index.php?page=something
<http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=something>
I know that the best would be www.domain.com/something
<http://www.domain.com/something>, but there is no mod_rewrite option
enabled..
Well, the first thing that I would do would be to seek to enable
mod_rewrite, but [1] would be second best choice, as it does not involve
a query string.
Whilst [1] is not a "human friendly" URI, it is much easier to work with
when using a software user agent (I have written these before), because
there is no query string to parse. To software, having index.php in the
middle of a URI is no worse than having "some-directory".
However, mod_rewrite is still the best option. If you are not running
the server yourself, you need to talk to your hosting provider and
convince them that this is the way that things are done nowadays.
Cheers
M
