page.php/controller/function or something like that when you request it.
Is
this making any sense? Has anybody besides me heard of URL rewriting?
It isn't too hard. I built some functions that strip the relevant data
out of $_SERVER. Mine were specific to a project, but looking through
the output of the following script and trying out several urls will give
you an idea of what to pull out.
<pre>
$_SERVER[]
<?php print_r($_SERVER); ?>
</pre>
The relevant ones seem to be SCRIPT_FILENAME, SCRIPT_NAME and REQUEST_URI

There are two steps: first writing "clean" urls - as mentioned above
mod_rewrite in ".htaccess" is what you want. Then you need a main
controller that parses the clean url to put the pieces into controller,
action, and id variables. Actually it's pretty simple code - but since
I've switched over to python and ruby I don't remember the exact code I
used but you can search on "clean urls" or "front end controllers" and
there's several how-to articles on this - that's how I found it. If
you're really stuck let me know and I'll dig out the code I used.
