Directory-Style URL?

[petz_e]

Hi,

I don’t really know where to ask this question, but maybe this can be also achieved with PHP, so I am asking it here.

Currently my URLs and links look as follows: www.domain.com/gallery.php?image=3038
How can I change these to: www.domain.com/gallery/3038 ? How is this called, as I don’t even know for what to look on the Internet? I remember that I once saw someone doing this with redirects, but doesn’t this add then an additional request to the server?

URL Rewrite, search the web lots of references.

Yes, URL rewriting. We have a sticky thread at the top of this Server Configuration, Apache & URL Rewriting forum, which gives a nice intro to it as well. [Thread moved to that forum.]
