can .htaccess make url better ?

Hello list,

the click enlarge facility of an image gallery generates the links in a
very ugly manner, like

````````````````
http://192.168.1.1/reifenqualitaet/index.php?eID=tx_cms_show pic&file=uploads/tx_reifenqualitaetimage/image-227X227_02.jp g&bodyTag=&wrap=%20|%20&md5=9021563e8e2c9efadb629ddd197f22bf
````````````````

Is it somehow possible to generate the link little nicer by the help of
..htaccess ?


thanks

It is possible, using mod_rewrite, to make most URLs look different.
One person's notion of nice may be different from another. I would,
however, recommend that you ask this question of users of this
particular image gallery software, as they very likely have a standard
way of doing what you're trying to do.

Failing that, I would suggest that you look at the mod_rewrite docs (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/
and http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Rewrite) and see if there's
something there that does what you need.

Also, note that .htaccess files are merely one of the places that you
can put configuration directives. When possible, you should try to put
directives in the server configuration file rather than in .htaccess
files.

Hey Rich, and anybody else who knows about this, what you've just said
touches on a question I've been wondering about: a few folks at work have
always told me that .htaccess was a really slow way to load configuration
because it needs to be checked per directory, as opposed to the global
configuration in httpd.conf or whatever that can be cached for the whole
webserver.

How true is this really? I've worked on a couple of high-load
high-availability webservers and we've never made a point of putting general
site configuration and rewrite rules in the httpd.conf file, using .htaccess
in the site root instead..
Having the ability to modify .htaccess without needing to restart the
web-servers is nice but certainly not essential, we generally restart the
webservers anyway when we make changes to the site in order to clear the
op-code cache. I'm wondering though if we could retire a server and still
support the same load, or at least see performance increases with a little
jiggering of the configuration..
I guess the way to test this would be to just do it and see the results,
I'll let you know what I find out, but hearing about actual experiences from
anybody else would be nice too.

There's a useful section in the documentation about this subject:-

Thank to all of you for your help and links. I'll definitely give an
in-depth look into those.

wish you all a nice time.
