But im guessing by that you mean like say: "<anything>.php" open "pages.php?page=<anything>" ?

Danny is right ;) Most search engines ignore URL's with parameters, and just take the GET off of the end. On the other hand, if you use a htaccess with MOD_REWRITE to create URLs without special characters, then the search engines are more likely to favour you.

I know Scriptz method of doing this was unusual, but it would still work.

I love it how Scriptz insults a forum member.
Then assumes the guys using Joomla 'Mod_rewrite'
looool, it's using PHP; LolCopters explained it perfectly use his method ;P

Why the hell did I write most some, I do some wierd things... Anyway

@ Then assumes the guys using Joomla 'Mod_rewrite'

When did anyone say anything about joomla? O.o

Well then - ya I guess that makes sense to use GET's - I use them for my DJ Panel's timetable to simplify matters... but ya ur right, htaccess is just to help make it more "SEO Friendly" as you put it...

Don't know what I was thinking O.o I was a little out of it at that time, but anyways ya, using php get would be easiest!

Also: Whoever left the (-) rep needs to understand that this is a "helping" community... to learn/correct! Not insult!

No silly! Not CSS or any other coding language for that matter. It is all server-side using an .htaccess file, mod_rewrite to be specific, you just change the way the browser enterperets a file/link. A link to a tut that might be helpful is below. Good luck! Its pretty straight forward anyways....

If your aim was to waste processor cycles and alot of your own time, maybe? But most people would just use a php page, if a select case statment and a get varible, saves alot of time, and is a codeing language o.0
Mod rewrite is more useful if you want to turn bla.php?p=cake&t=chocolate in to bla/cake/chocolate or something. useing it backwards seems kinda pointless.
