hi everyone, thanks for your all your response. AD, you convinced me that title based url are not as bad as I was thinking. However, can you clarify more on using both id and title in the url. If I want to use both id and title in the url, I have two options 1. http://findnwrite.com/memento/articles/details/1240/an_enterprise_GIS. - traditional CakePHP way 2.http://findnwrite.com/memento/articles/details/id:1240/ title:an_enterprise_GIS. - named arguments
It doesn't matter what option I use, but using id and title both in the url solves my problem. The url gets more meaningful with the title and I can still use the id field to do my queries. The title field in the above url is then only for display purpose. Does any of you see a potential problem with this. Once again thanks for all your comments. @AD - thanks for spotting the spelling mistake on title page @Geoff - thanks for spotting mistake on details page.
