I've been going through doing some search engine friendliness updates
with rewrite rules and would like to clean up some php query strings
like ?PG=2&PIC=5

I'm thinking /2/5 is not going to work because I have folders named /2
in some cases so maybe it's more like /2~5 but that's just weird using
funny characters or /pg2#5

You'd think I could come up with something decent but I'm just not sure.
Any suggestions?


For now my links look like this:
http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=0_gallery/0-Photo-Update/2007-06-24&PG=1&PIC=1
I've got it down to this (not uploaded yet):
http://www.edgehill.net/1/gallery/photo-update/2007-06-24?PG=1&PIC=1
and soon I'll have this:
http://www.edgehill.net/gallery/photo-update/2007-06-24?PG=1&PIC=1

Also, is there any reason not to chop off the www:
http://edgehill.net/gallery/photo-update/2007-06-24

Oh, and I could change 2007-06-24 to 6-24-07

So the final urls would look like:
http://edgehill.net/gallery/photo-update/6-24-07/pg2#5
.... or whatever looks best on the page & pic numbers...

Thanks for your ideas,
