A URL has to point to a script - how will your server know what to do with 
the incoming URL if it doesn't point to something?  That said - format your 
URL as a GET string and there's your variable.

Ex.:

http://server.domain.com/(scriptname)?variable&anothervariable&anothervariable

Or - if this url is coming from an already running script, you could post 
the var to a session var and then send a url without the script name and let 
your server's default document (index.php ?) receive it and look up the 
session var, but that's a pretty silly way to handle things just to hide the 
scriptname.

Of course, someone here with much more knowledge than I could very soon make 
me look stupid  :)
