[users@httpd] Address translation

[Ed Curtis <e_...@homes2see.com>]

I've seen several sites that contain numerals for urls (i.e. 
www.cnn.com/23482/) and it points to a page. I have recently ran into a 
situation where a client wants to use id numbers in a URL. What I would 
like to do is have that point to a php script that takes that id and 
builds a page from a database. I've seen something that uses an 
.htaccess file and the RewriteEngine but I can't seem to get that to 
work. Am I hitting the right way to do this or is there a different way?

Thanks,

Ed

Rewrite module is good way to achieve this.

There're plenty of tutorials in the web, ask google.
