P.S. mod_rewrite is usually enabled or can be enabled on any
simple hosting plan that is using apache, if you encounter a host
that uses apache and wont turn it on, i would suggest finding
another host.
Also, you can usually put mod_rewrite rules in a .htaccess file -- so
it doesn't require httpd.conf access.
Even without mod_rewrite, you could still do myhost.com/index.php/
MayEvent07 -- you then look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], remove
index.php/ from it, and then explode on / to get your args.
Even if you are able to use mod_rewrite, you probably need to do a
database lookup to find MayEvent07 so your mod_rewrite rule would be
something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|html|htm|xml|php)$ index.php
Then you still process it by exploding $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] but
you won't have index.php in that string. The rewrite rule forwards
everything to index.php except for files with the extensions listed.
