Photos are back, now with pretty URLs. This was achieved with mod_rewrite and a line in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^photos/of/(.*)/([0-9]+)$
/photos/album.php?directory=$1&photo=$2
(on one line)
That line takes the info from the album script’s query string and puts them into the new URL, thus hiding default cruft. The result: friendlier, more human navigation.
(I’ve tested it, but please inform me if any problems are encountered.)
