It means the hosting webserver either does a URL rewrite for the receiver application, or the receiver application parses the URL itself. In either case the developer then assigns the value to a variable of their choice. This is usually a positional approach to URL variables. Meaning you can't arbitrarily re-arrange the order of the variables.
