So let me clarify for myself (and others information, I guess). Apache web
server needs to have mod_rewrite installed to effectively handle the
requests, but I can just use PHP to rewrite the URLs via the $_SERVER
suprglobal, like this:
<pre>
$_SERVER[]
<?php print_r($_SERVER); ?>
</pre>
I will handle static file requests via the database and a record ID, which
ultimately returns the correct URL to the file to my application and
redirects in order to download the file. Am I on the right track? I'm sure I
just said something that is wrong.
Maybe we're not thinking of the same thing when we say "rewrite" ? I'd
think for a rewrite you need to take a friendly url like this:
/whatever/x/y/ or even
/whatever.php/x/y/
... and make the server _think_ you're actually sending it a query
string like this:
/whatever.php?category=x&item=y
So the contents of the above less friendly url show up when a user or
spider visits the friendly url. I don't know how you'd make php do that
on its own, short of actually having /x/ and /y/ directories that
display the content for /whatever.php?category=x&item=y .. but at that
point why not just generate the content in html?
