I noted in a previous post, you can also do this using $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] (though the first element from exploding will be the first parameter, and not the script name) -- and, to my understanding, this *does* work with IIS. (Somebody, correct me if I'm wrong.) Another note -- you can still pass a query string with either method -- which can make for some nice behaviour as well. > On Apr 8, 2005 4:11 PM, Brad Brevet <bradbrevet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, I am curious how to pass a variable without using something like id=321. > > > > I have seen sites that have something like > > http://www.website.com/something/321 and the variable is passed how exactly > > is that done?
