url reconstruction

[Mehok]

what about a url reconstruction for example

on my website there is a SL Gallery section

http://www.mehokahrimanovic.com/gallery/index

now when someone clicks on that section i can have a shorter address like


http://www.mehokahrimanovic.com/gallery=?page1

is that possible with an xhtml and css based design

you could change it to:


http://www.mehokahrimanovic.com/?p=gallery
or

http://www.mehokahrimanovic.com/?p=gallery&page=1

but you would need to use PHP.

The Problem with that is that my website is alreaddy made in XHTML and CSS it would take time is there another solution

You can still carry on using XHTML and CSS.

PHP is a server-side language that just outputs standard HTML!

The idea behind ?p=gallery&page=2 is that you are sending information to the next page to use.

If you use the above on the end of your url you are just sending some simple instructions to the next page e.g.

p = gallery

page = 2

Then the next page would use that information e.g.

IF p = gallery - "Display this content"
IF p = somethingelse - "display some other content"

Definatly worth learning if you've got the time!
