they're called 'mod_rewrites'...if you google it, you should be able to find a couple of tutorials.

hope that helps.

Create a file called .htaccess and do something similar to this:

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^short/([0-9])/$ http://www.discoverydreams.com/temp/li/index.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^short/([0-9])$ http://www.discoverydreams.com/temp/li/index.php?id=$1


And fix all the links on your site.

Just as a side note IIS6 will work with PHP.

Just thought I would throw that out to you, and yes I realize this has nothing to do with your problem.

I'd suggest re-naming the variable that you're passing. Instead of "?id=4" change the variables name to "?product=4" or something similar.

Google and other SE's hate URL variables with "id" in the because they see this as a session ID, so they take it as worthless and won't index the page. When the variable is called something different, the SE's take it as a real variable and will index the page a lot easier.

Doing this may not be 100% as good as a mod-rewrite, but working on a Windoes server, rewriting isn't as easy as on Apache, and with this you'll be doing 90-95% as well.

Thanks all for the help. I contacted my web hosting company, they have told that mod-rewrite is not possible on windows, so i think i would try Catacaustic comments, if that could help

Thanks again
