Answer 1

You will want to use mod_rewrite, a module available in apache. This will be controlled by the .htaccess file in your web directory. AddedBytes has a good beginner rewrite tutorial.

You can do this in at least two different ways:

• Use mod_rewrite for Apache to map the SEO URL to your request-specific URL.
• Make a /ab PHP script that checks PATH_INFO to extract /jenny . You will have to configure Apache to handle scripts without extension as php scripts for this.
