In order to do this I need SEO friendly (pretty) URLs such as http://site.com/gps/xxxx/garmin/nuvi_350 where xxxx is a unique identifier for a product. Now in the past using php I would probably have implemented this using a mod_rewrite rule that would convert the above URL to something like http://site.com/gps/?id=xxxx&company=garmin&description=nuvi_350 and the PHP script would generate the page based on the GET variables. I have started looking at this tonight so it is early days. At the moment I seem to have a problem with the GET variables being stripped and inaccessible when canonical redirection occurs. Not sure how to get around this. I considered doing it as a collection of witty apps each one representing a product group (e.g. gps, cameras, amplifiers) but I assume there would be a problem passing session details from one app to the next? Anyway, i would appreciate any feedback anyone would care to offer and I will certainly keep the list posted on my progress.
