Hacking the URL?

[Anon]

Is there any way of cheating what URL the browser displays?

My script is in:
http://www.site.com/page.php

But I want it to look like:
http://www.site.com/directory/page.php

Because I use the same script for every page but to aid navigation it'd help if it looked like they were in directories...

Wait a minute - What would happen if a user bookmarked it? Doh!

mod_rewrite in apache may do what you want

I must agree. I have done something similar using this method, and it works very well. Check out how to do it here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You will need to modify your httpd.conf and .htaccess accordingly.

One note: SOME apache packages (precompiled) do NOT come with mod_rewrite. Mine (Win32, 1.3.20, binary, MSI installer) DIDN'T. I had to get on a linux machine and copy the module manually.
