URL redirections

A discussion on how Apache’s mod_rewrite can be used to let users see URL of the form /yyyy/mm/dd/ when in reality they are requesting ?date=yyyy-mm-dd or similar.

After a refreshing vacation mainly away from computers, I’ve finally had the time to work on some of the issues that have been bothering me on our site. My main problem has been that when people look at several strips of Jermut or pictures from the Life of Jalo, the statistics we get in Urchin are problematic. The following will outline how the Life of Jalo has been fixed and offers some hints on how to do it yourself. The discussion will be technical and source code is shown. You have been warned.
