explain what is mod rewrite - i downloaded the wallpaper script. there is one option on it that say enable permalinks type URLs
im not familiar with permalinks so i enabled it to see what it would do but it says i need modrewrite in order to be able to use this feature. can you please explain what is mod rewrite
i really like the script so far, so thanks for sharing it. great script
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
but for you, whats important to know is that with mod rewrite you can rewrite a url into a different url.
for example, lets say you have a blog and the url to access one of your blog pages is:
http://www.myblog.com/blog.php?blog_id=1945
as you can see from the above example, when you visit that page, it should open blog_id 1945 from your database,
but how about if you can have it the url like this instead:
http://www.myblog.com/1945.html
as you can see, the url is much shorter and it will display the same content
thats what mod rewrite can do for you. i believe wordpress calls these "permalinks"
