I read the article and I understand it, but I can't get it to work. I coded my page using $PATH_INFO but when I tried to access the page with my browser: http://xxx.com/mypage.php/name/john/x/2 (to retrieve name=john and x=2), I received the following error "Warning: Failed opening '/mypage.php/name/john/x/2' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0 The page worked fine when it was: http://xxx.com/mypage.php?name=john&x=2 More to the point, how does the server know that /john/x/2 is not a directory reference? Is it trying to locate page '2' on the server? -- John A.
