Hyperlinks analysis

[o_oe]

Hello friends,While working on a clients existing website, I discovered that some of the links have no file extention. Please look at the "popular searches" on http://wholesalegopher.com/, click on any of the categories and observe the url.I actually wanted to place the some of the search result on a different template but could not track them through database or file.Your comments and advice are highly appreciated.

Well making the links like this is something that is done with mod_rewrite (if you're on an apache server). apache mod rewriteBasically, you can use mod rewrite to rewrite URLs. Let's say you have a page http://wholesalegopher.com/page?id=3 (which is the collectibles page). With mod rewrite, you can create rules and conditions so that even though the browser goes to http://wholesalegopher.com/page?id=3, the browser displays http://wholesalegopher.com/collectibles.It's kind of complicated, as in you'll need to learn regular expressions, but there's a ton of resources on the net that can help you out.Soooo, if you want to find out where the links are actually pointing to, you'll need to find the htaccess file that is being used or talk to whoever developed using it.
