Rewriting URL

[Denzelstewart]

Hi friends,

I am not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I am in search of urgent help and would like your suggestions. One of my friends has an online store that has thousands of articles to rewrite with multiple urls. I wanted to know if there was a way to get them all rewritten at once, instead of doing them one by one? I would really prefer that instead of doing it one by one. And also, do you know of such a solution for the Apache, Unix, and IIS servers?

I know that mod-rewrite is really the way to go for rewriting URLs and such (when using Apache), but... I rent webspace on a shared server and cannot directly modify Apache config files. This leaves me with two options:

1). Using .htaccess files (which I have heard have a significant performance impact when used for mod_rewrite).

2). Handle URL rewriting through PHP itself (though this would only be a pseudo rewrite).

Hello varan,
