Yes I already torture my poor server in other worse ways though :-) I
also want this to make the urls shorter for emailing links. I totally
agree the search engines are not reasonable about ignoring php content,
in fact they don't always ignore it but apparently it hurts a lot.

For now I'm thinking /pg2pc5 it could be /~2~5 but that's an awkward
character for people to type... maybe /p2~5 ...shortness is important to
my goals. Sometimes I will just give the page number so /pg2 /p2

Yep, I've been dealing with that already with the rewrite rules I've
implemented so far. It wasn't too bad and the nice thing is except for
that, all the old ugly urls will continue to function. What I had to
change was relative urls that didn't start at the root, I had everything
under /1 & the index.php loaded under /1 so I had left out the /1 on
many but those are almost all easily corrected in the php building or
html, just a few exceptions are broken hard coded links in the
annotation under some photos.
