query string without question mark

[lth2h]

This might be more of an apache question than a PHP question. Hopefully someone will be able to help me.

I've seen applications that pass the query string without a question mark. Something like this:

http://www.example.com/index.php/var1/var2/var3/var4/

However when i do that with my webserver I get a 404 error.

I'm using RHEL 5 with apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.0. How can I enable this?

Thanks in advance

simple version
in .htaccess

add:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]

then in index.php

$url = explode('/',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
print_r($url);
