Parsing directories as querystring

[Anon]

Greetings,

 I created a php script to that looks like a directory to Apache. I want to be able to have it read directory locations typed into the location bar of a browser as part of a querystring.

For example:
http://someserver.com/myscript/SOMEVALUE

The script will then take "SOMEVALUE"
and assign it to $someVar then redirect the user to another script based on what SOMEVALUE is.

In apache I just did a simple alias:
Alias /myscript/ "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/webCalendar/myscript.php"

Is there any way to do what I want using PHP and Apache? Is this more of an Apache question?

Thanks in advance,

You needn't go far... a recent article here covers issues like this.

Note that the script doesn't look like a directory to Apache - Apache and PHP work together to make the script look like a directory to your browser.

Subtle difference - but the difference is real.

Thanks! Just what I needed!

I guess I should have trolled through the articles on this site a little more ....
