Is it not a get parameter? My best guess is that it's being converted by Apache using mod_rewrite. For one of my websites, for instance, I have mod_rewrite convert /op_ed/123 to /op_ed/index.php?id=123. It's more search engine-friendly, for one, and an easier structure to remember for non-techie folks. More on mod_rewrite here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#rewrite-more-config This is Apache-specific, but I'd imagine there are similar methods for other webservers. -- Mike Johnson Smarter Living, Inc.
