What I would like to do, is the following.
ALL request to a site are redirected by apache rules to one single file.
Let's call it index.php.
Index.php notes the URL the user wants and looks it up in a database,
and if it exists, includes() the actual PHP file for that page.
If it doesn't exist, a standard 'sorry, you are looking for a page that
doesn't exist' is returned, if possible with the correct error code in
the headers?
The php files themselves apart from index.php do NOT live under the web
root. They might in fact live in the database. But that's stage 2.
Is this possible, and if so what if any are the downsides?
It seems to me that a user or robot level scrape of the site would not
show anything of its true internal structure. But still show all the
paths through it.
What I want to do is have stuff like
http:/mysite.com/news/Dog-Bites-Man
redirect to say
/var/private/newspage.php?id=3041
where there exists a mysql table with a name value pair of
news/Dog-Bites-Man: /var/private/newspage.php?id=3041
or
menu/Contact-the-webmaster: /var/private/contact.php?target=webmaster
and so on.
And possible a field for keywords to search the site with.
