variables delimited by '/' in query?

[Anon]

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow get scripts to point to variables in the URL as if they were separate folders on the server instead of variables passed to the program. For instance, is there a way to get a program to associate this:

http://www.blah.com/program.php/y

with this:

http://www.blah.com/program.php?somevariable=y

I've seen what I suspect is this on other websites, just wondering if it is possible?

Search for mod_rewrite at apache.org.

Also, look in the columns on this site.

Tim has written a good one.

I've recently started using mod rewrite. It's hard to learn but very cool.
