URL Parsin

Hello.
I have a problem with doing the following

let's say I want the address
http://www.mydomain.com/123.456.789.html to be passed to a file http://www.mydomain.com/index.php

with satyssfying the following :
1) the file 123.456.789.html does not exist. its just lets, say kind of shortcut
2) the Address bar will still display 123.456.789.html

thankx in advance, if you want to get closer to the idea go to nokia.com and you'll see something close to that.

Something like:

$redirecturl =  "http://www.mydomain.com/index.php ";

$calledurl = strtolower($HTTP_HOST);

if ($calledurl == "http://www.mydomain.com/123.456.789.html") {
	Header("Location: $redirecturl\n"); 
	exit();

I see that you haven't got my point, well
I do not want the site to completely redirect to index.php.

Actually I'm creating a cms and giving the administrator multiple ways of managing the links on his websites
on way is to use /index.php?ctype=document&id=234
and it will show the document number 234 from the db

the other way is to use like first number will determine the ctype (content type)
lets say that documents are numbered as 21 and I want document number 234
so the address to it will be /21.234.html and this will be sent to the index.php for processing and give the output. got my point ?

I did get your point the first time. You casically want to avoid having a long trailing strinf od variables behind the url, probably to facilitate search-engines.

The example I gave you is on how to go to a specific page, based on a given page.

You will have to split up the address. Use something like [man]explode[/man] to get the pieces, and rebuild your correct url to that .
