in fact thats probably for search engine optimization. Try
http://www.seochat.com for more details and info. Basically
apache
will use a thing called the URL rewrite engine (it rewrites URL) to
change http://www.website.com/something/321 into
probably something
like
http://www.website.com/index.php?thing=something&number=321.
other ways of passing variables by not using URI:
cookies
session
forms... POST / http/1.1
hope this helps... i am sorry if i haven't explained it properly enough.
