Re: passing variables in URL string without ?

From an earlier post to this list: In httpd.conf, in the <VirtualHost> block for the site: <Location /ThisIsAProgram> ForceType appllication/x-http-php </Location> In a php program file, named ThisIsAProgram in the DocumentRoot of the site: ========================== <? $Params = explode( '/', $PATH_INFO ); while( list( $Index, $Value ) = each( $Params )) { echo "Params[ $Index ] = $Value<BR>\n" ); } ?> ========================== Hit this URL: http://whatever.site.com/ThisIsAProgram/these/directories/are/not/real You should get: Params[ 0 ] = Params[ 1 ] = these Params[ 2 ] = directories Params[ 3 ] = are Params[ 4 ] = not Params[ 5 ] = real If you can't or don't want to do the <Location> thing, you can name the file ThisIsAProgram.php (or .php3) and call it: http://whatever.site.com/ThisIsAProgram.php/these/directories/are/not/re al But I think it is pretty cool to make the program name look like just another directory in the tree, so I usually use <Location>.
