Is there any *reasonable* way to do this in PHP?
Here's an example of how to do it without using mod_rewrite. The
basic idea is to build a front-controller that parses the $_SERVER
['PATH_INFO'] variable, and delegates the request appropriately for
your application.

I agree, I'm not fond of the mod_rewrite solution. However, I've
found that to be the only reliable method when php is running as a CGI.
