How'd I do this?

[JonD]

Ive seen the subject around but dunno how to do it.

Basically I code my links on my site as ?p=whatever&id=number etc...

Egs:

/?p=news&id=2
/?p=interviews
/?p=interviews&id=1231

But how can I translate it to and still work the same way?

/news/2
/interviews
/interviews/1231

Is it modwrite or sumthing?

Thx

Create a file called .htaccess in the same directory as your scripts. In it, put:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)/?$			index.php?p=news&id=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^interviews/([0-9]+)/?$		index.php?p=interviews&id=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^interviews/?$			index.php?p=interviews [QSA]

Would I have to write the same thing for all my pages? (There will be about 15 different ?p=whatever and potentially LOADS of &id=number.
