When you run a database-driven website, it makes sense to generate pages on the fly. PHP, MySQL, and Apache let you do just that. But they don't make it pretty. How many times have you had to create a URL that looks like this: http://schmoop.com/snurk.php3?snurk=123, when what you wanted was a URL like http://schmoop.com/snurk/123. The PHP Snurk lets you make such search-engine friendly URLs for dynamically-generated pages. All you need is the ability to run custom CGI scripts, an .htaccess file, and a little bit of time and effort.
