[Mark Withington]

I'm no Jack Kennedy, however, I believe part of the idea is
"security-by-obscurity".  The less you tell the bad guys the better.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] mod_rewrite -- what's the big deal?


I'm confused by mod_rewrite
 
What is the point? What is the big deal?
 
Why is www.website.com/page/action/stuff/morestuff/
 
Better than
 
www.website.com/page.php?action=something&id=#&....
 
 
What difference does it make? To me it mainly looks like a major headache
making all the queries written in PHP play nicely with mod_rewrite.
