$class_tpl->assign('body','mytemplate.tpl');
$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php');
?>

Then inside your template folder create a template file to hold the body of you page and call it what ever you would like. Just replace the "mytemplate.tpl" with what ever the name of the template is you create for the body.

The simply create a link on your site to the php file you created and your good to go.

Not sure why you want to do this - there is no real advantage in terms of SEO and people very rarely remember specific urls for inner pages. What is far more important is content and structure. The use of title tags, page titles and meta descriptions on links etc.

That being said, the first line makes an html url for all those php pages, the second line is specific to a particular page (number 16)

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)\.html$ pages.php?page=$1 [NC]

RewriteRule ^xyz\.html$ page/16.html [NC]

Thank you for your help, I am sorry for asking so many questions, but I am still not really clear on the code. So what does (xyz) stand for?
RewriteRule ^xyz\.html$ page/16.html [NC][/quote]
Are you just giving me an example of a folder?
Do I need to modify anything else in this second line other than the page number?
