Hey.
I've got a very basic newbie question, I hope you can understand me.
Sorry for asking it, first of all.
I see a lot of sites (e.g. communities) with a url-structure like
this: example.com/users/paul (displaying the user profile of "paul")
or example.com/pictures/landscapes/13 (displaying pictures from the
category "landscapes", page 13). These are just examples, I hope I
didn't confuse you.
Well, in my sites I call sites with GET parameters. For example:
myexample.com/index.php?site=users&user=paul or myexample.com/
index.php?site=pictures&cat=landscapes&page=13. In my index.php file I
check for those parameters and include the relevant php file.
For me, my method somehow looks unprofessional compared to those
"pseudo urls" described at the beginning. I'm calling them pseudo urls/
directories, because I don't think there is a physical directory for
every user, for example. If a website has over 10.000 users, I don't
think they have a directory for every single user, so I guess there's
another way to get those nice-looking structure.
How to do that?
Thanks in advance.
