copied!<p>Well, there are some ways to do this.</p> <p>Widely adopted is using .htaccess, which you said don't wanna use. OK.</p> <p>You still have some options:</p> <ul> <li>Using a database table to map everything is one.</li> <li>Using a routine to check existing files.</li> <li>Using a extended xml sitemap.</li> <li>Using a caching system.</li> </ul> <p>Well, everything above can be mixed on your implemetation if you want.</p> <p>You can find a good article for this on a list apart.</p> <p><a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/succeed/" rel="nofollow">http://www.alistapart.com/articles/succeed/</a></p> <p>On this article the solution is a mix:</p> <p>first check if a file exists (for example "about-us.php"); if yes, include the file contents, else</p> <p>check db for this request (as a tip, you can have a field named "friendlyURL" on your main content tables). if exists, extract and display, else</p> <p>show a 404 page. as a tip for this one, keeping the SEO feature in mind, I would recommend you to have a sitemap xml. If page is not found, you can check sitemap if is not a broken URL, like:</p> <p><a href="http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/bro" rel="nofollow">http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/bro</a></p> <p>you can check if some URL like: <a href="http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/brown" rel="nofollow">http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/brown</a></p> <p>and suggest it to your customers/visitors. Along with:</p> <p><a href="http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/" rel="nofollow">http://yourdomain.net/shoes/male/</a></p> <p><a href="http://yourdomain.net/shoes/" rel="nofollow">http://yourdomain.net/shoes/</a></p> <p>also a link for your HTML sitemap, and if you have a search feature on your site, also use it, display a link for user go to search page with that query.</p> <p><a href="http://yourdomain.net/search?q=shoes+male+bro" rel="nofollow">http://yourdomain.net/search?q=shoes+male+bro</a></p> <p>OR </p> <p>[input type="text" name="q" value="shoe+male+bro"];</p> <p>And another extra tech tip: make use of full-text search feature of your db if available.</p> <p>A interesting reading comes from Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP creator: <a href="http://lerdorf.com/lca04.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://lerdorf.com/lca04.pdf</a> (check page 34, about 404 redirects).</p>
