I use mod_rewrite from Apache to do what you're describing. Everything
without a period in the name gets processed by /index.php. The index.php
script knows which data to load by parsing the URL.

Subject: [PHP] Loading dynamic pages based on URL
Articles for an online magazine will use one template and load content
dynamically from a MySQL database. Assets and images for each article will
be stored in their own folder: e.g., www.mysite.com/topic/article
Even though a physical HTML page will not exist at
www.mysite.com/topic/article, is there a way to load the appropriate
articles in the template without actually specifying a physical page name if
soemone types that URL into their browser? I'd prefer to send people to
www.mysite.com/topic/article instead of
www.mysite.com/topic/article/template.php?id=39403848
I realize this may be more of an Apache issue than PHP, but, thought I'd see
if anyone here has dealt with something similar.
Thanks!
Monty
