Hi Dave, Would you please post and example of how you did a mod rewrite so a viewer file that shows as:
yourwebsite.com/viewer.php/1/page.php
becomes:
yourwebsite.com/viewer/1/page.php
of course I would choose another name other then "viewer" ... just using that to keep things clear.
Also, can one eliminate the "num" call from the url so it ends up as:
Yourwebsite.com/viewer/page.php
I would really like to replace the "1,2,3 etc" with a directory name so the url ends up like:
yourwebsite.com/viewer/whatido/page.php
I know how to work with your viewerfunction.php file, I am just not clear how dependent the program is on the "num" call for the url.
Thanks!

This is what I ended up using for my specific application.

Thanks for posting that.
I haven't actually done a lot with mod_rewrite (other than copying and pasting other code) so I'll use that as a base when exploring it more.
You can drop the number and lookup records by something else. It just requires a bit of custom PHP and MySQL. Basically you just create a field in the editor called 'filename' (or whatever you like), make it unique, and query that in the where clause option like this:
$options['where'] = 'filename = "/whatido/page.php"';
You just need a little PHP code to pull that part out of the url, escape it, and then put it in the where clause. Try this in your page viewer code.
$escapedFilename = escapeMysqlString( @$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] );
$options['where'] = "filename = '$escapedFilename'";
Test it out by adding: print $options['where']; after to make sure it's printing the right thing.
Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.
