You may already have thought of this, but: for making the URLs nice, consider having your script get the name of the requested page from the path info, rather than from the cgi query string. This way it looks fairly nice even without mod_rewrite, it uses a very simple rewrite rule, and it should be pretty easy to make rewriting optional.

Yeah, that's basically what I was going to do. If the path info is translated into what would normally be querystring values, then it'll be easy to make mod_rewrite optional. I had thought the same thing, and that's one of the goals.

Check out my fun with mod_rewrite post where I go into the rules I'm going to use.

Yeah, I was just being fair to PearDB because I haven't tried it yet But ADODB is probably a given should I use any database abstraction at all.
