Short-Urls and .htaccess

Hello,

I`m writing this topic to know about everybody who wants short-urls on the website.

The best module to have this, in my opinion, is simplified_urls. But, i want to customize for my site.
I don't simply modify .htaccess, because i need to render imgs, a hrefs and others. So:

- Has anybody achieved to modify it, for personal urls?
Like: site.com/register for register.php
site.com/announce for modules/myAds/addannonces.php

Thanks.

Or, it would be better to build a website based on .htaccess, instead of writing a php script to modify on-the-fly all the tags i need (imgs, a hrefs, etc).

thanks

I would suggest being carelfull not to use htaccess if you are planning to serve site content efficiently. Use PHP instead.

The downside to the .htaccess method is that the .htaccess file must be parsed by the server for statements on every request, including image requests and anything else. If you would not otherwise have a .htaccess file, the PHP method is less overhead.

You mean that it`s better to develop a module, make it fully functional and then work with SEO, by doing these soft plays with PHP and .htaccess like Shorturls or simplified urls do?

I was wondering what would be better, since i want to do a customized thing, like showing an AD title in the url instead of the id, same with the city and state.

Thanks.
