You can kind of fake this effect using the $PATH_INFO variable which is
sent by apache. If you request the file:
http://www.myserver.com/index.php/url/string/here
the file index.php will have a variable $PATH_INFO available to it with
the value "/url/string/here". You can then extract the info you need
from the string. The downside is that you still have index.php in the url
Hope that helps,
Simon
