Question

Answer 1

+4 A:

You'll want to use mod_rewrite, a module available in apache. This will be managed by an .htaccess file within your web directory. AddedBytes has a nice tutorial for beginners on url-rewriting.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You can do this in at least 2 different ways:

Use mod_rewrite for Apache to map the SEO friendly URL to your querystring based URL.
Make /ab a php script that inspects the PATH_INFO to retrieve /jenny. You'll have to configure Apache to treat scripts with no extension as php scripts for this to work.

@Iwan: I'm sorry, in order for option 2 to work, `/ab` would have to be an actual php script, not a directory as it is in your case. I suggest you go with option 1 as it is the more widely practiced and accepted of the 2 approaches.
