Consider, for example, sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/myproject/index.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/myproject/bug-list.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/myproject/bug-add.html There are zillions of "myproject"s, with new ones coming on at the rate of at least several per day. These are all pages which, in the URI -> filename translation step of Apache, need to get pointed at some canonical project template directory. Doing this with one rewrite, as you did with articles and pathinfo, doesn't seem sufficient, since there are in fact several files under each directory rather than just one. /articles/65902.html probably gets rewritten to /articles.php which has to go looking through pathinfo. Fine, it works. But I don't think pathinfo is up to the task above.
