When populating a web address like: http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/pie-in-the-sky/
How does wordpress (and other blogging sites for that matter) populate the date and title extension programmatically?
Is this done by the use of URL rewriting? Or is the date and the title parsed by php dynamically?
Thanks
Most likely via URL rewriting at the web server level (e.g. in a .htaccess file under Apache).
