Grabbing variables from a filename...

[peprice]

Hi,

In a directory, I have a PHP script which is called index.php and is called as the DirectoryIndex.

Now I can get index.php to grab a string of numbers as its input by loading /test/?05254,02525,151.html (i.e. there's no need to specify index.php) but...

..the question is, how would I get index.php to run and secondly accept the numbers as its input variable by having the URL as /test/05254,0525,151.html - i.e. without the question mark ?

I'm trying to avoid having lots of .html files in the directory and want them all to be phrased by the single index.php script.

Any ideas greatfully received.

Thanks,
Peter.

Either use mod_rewrite, or make your index file handle 404s from that directory.
