URL Rewriting
URL rewriting (sometimes known as rewrite engine, short, fancy url's, or search engine friendly url's) let you modify the appearance of your URLs to provide shorter, better looking links to your web pages. For example
http://www.example.com/blog/posts.php?year=2009&month=10&day=09
can be rewritten to give a more memorable and clearer idea of what your visitor will see when she clicks on your link
http://www.example.com/blog/2009/10/09
