Re: Newbie Question: How to pass URL info to .php script ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I pasted your example in and it doesn't work for me (again, newbie).  I will
play with it and see if I can get it working.  My main goal is to have
Ruby-like URL's vs "?var=3425".  Is this possible with .php (without
mod_rewrite / something in the http server?)
Thanks,

Ethan
