Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Link simplification proposal

[Ryan R. <to...@gm...>]

I don't know the difficulty involved, but as a developer, I think it
would make sense that the first variable would be the module, and the
rest are simply dumped into a constructor for me to deal with.

http://site.com{/index}/blog/view/2    (with or without the index/)

Should allow the core to create the init blog object and passes in the
vars from the rest of the URL.  This way:

http://site.com{/index}/album/view/thumb/4/6

Will create a blog object which will specify "viewing a thumbnail from
page 4, image 6"

Pick your example, but basically, as long as everyone agrees that the
first variable is the module, should it matter how many come after it?
 And perhaps more importantly, should the core really care?

Just my 2 cents,

Ryan Roland
