mod_rewrite and Cavy Costumes

Just when I thought I’d learned all I need to know about webdesign (not literally), I come across mod_rewrite – which is quite useful! I still have the hardest time comprehending regular expressions, so I’m just using it in its simplest form. Rather than typing profile.php?id=1 every time I want to access a member profile I can use profile/1 instead! Neil Crosby can explain it better than I, so I’ll leave the job to him. Btw – if you are using an .htaccess file to protect against direct linkers, you are using mod_rewrite!

Speaking of direct linkers, I made a new hotlink warning image:

(I stole the ingenious idea from Jem :) )

Look what I found! Poor Coco is going to have a whole wardrobe soon…

    I have tried using mod_rewrite and I think I should, but then when I tried hotlinking one of my sigtags to use on my email, I couldnt so I removed it again :rofl:
    Just want to say I love your graphics, esp the emoticons! :roll: Btw, your Coco is really cute! :love:
    Have a great weekend!

    Yay for mod_rewrite! I’m playing around with it at the moment for the direct link protection thing as well.

    I found this interesting article about it:

    I don’t really think many people direct link my stuff, if any at all, but it can’t hurt to have it set up! :D
