Step 1: Rename "path.php" to "path"
Step 2: Add this to your Apache conf file:
<Location /path>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>
This causes "path" to be executed as a PHP script even though it does not
have a .php extension.
Step 3: Add this to your "path" php script:
// $PATH_INFO = the rest of the URI after dmb/
// remove anything other than letters, numbers, dots, underscores,
// and dashes, and put into an array
// for example "trading/toptraders" will be an array consisting
// of "trading" ($args[1]) and "toptraders" ($args[2]). The / is
discarded.
ereg("(^[-_.\/a-zA-Z0-9]*$)", $PATH_INFO, $arg);
$args = split( "/", $arg[1]);
Hope this helps.
