Re: How to work with virtual (seo) URLs?

Forget the mod_rewrite madness and just do like this: .htaccess file (or httpd.conf equivalent) <Files section> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> Then inside section file, you can do: $pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; //You now have /subsection/subsection/subsubsection in $pathinfo //Do whatever you want with it.
