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...
