Args to php

[gumOnShoe]

I know the standard method of sending data to php is to use ?varName=value&etc=etc...

But, when I look at newgrounds and the Flash portal (which several of you suggested uses php), the only "argument" is the directory name. I take it I'm missing something here. As I'm relatively new to the practice of web development: how'd they do that?

in the .htaccess, they use mod_rewrite to change the URL from
a.a.a/bob to a.a.a/index.php?a=bob
that's why it seems like each post has its own directory.
Tutorial on how to do this

Hope I helped!

I worship this approach of showing url to the viewer. I do it on my site too. It looks there's a ton of pages, but actually everything is ran from page.php?page=[site]. Aforementioned site is actually this. Same page different URL.
And it's easy. You'll love it.
