Pretty URLs are increasingly popular. Not only are huge website businesses implementing them, but smalltime web designers are equally striving for that good look in the address bar in your explorer. This article is a follow up based on the comments of my previous story Pretty URLs (How to). I wasn’t planning on this sequel, that’s why part 1 doesn’t say “Part 1”.

I have a website that was originally written entirely in HTML (and CSS). This was originally done intentionally and there were good reasons for sticking to HTML. But, over time, site maintenance has become increasingly complex and time consuming, so I began the task of migrating the site to PHP. The main reason for moving to PHP was to use ‘include’ statements so that the menus, logos, headers, footers etc. were all in one place so the whole site can be updated more easily. So how easy is it to move to php? Actually much easier than you might expect!
