Using formatted URL's instead of Query Strings?

[RadioGeek]

Hey, all. I'm curious how one can modify the configuration/execution of HTTPD and/or PHP to allow URLs like this:

http://site.com/page/argument

...instead of...

http://site.com/page.php?something=argument

So that if I used the first example, argument would be dynamically tagged to "page" instead of being a directory.

Can anyone help?

Have a look at mod_rewrite. See the Apache documentation for details; a search on "mod_rewrite" in these forums will also give some tips.
