Question on php questionmark variables but slash instead

[pspauthority]

Hello.

I've noticed in MediaWiki (the software used by Wikipedia.org) uses
forward-slashes "/" some of the time to organize the different items.

example

http://www.zeldarealm.com/zeldapedia....php/Main_Page

notice the

index.php/Main_Page

it uses a slash, rather than a question mark.

can someone please show me how to do this myself? It'd be appreciated

thanks

Easiest are RewriteRules in .htaccess files.

You can parse the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable and, per example, parse
it as follows:

$arg = substr(
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
1 + strrpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/')
);

The answer other people seem to have missed is that $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"]
will be filled with /Main_Page on Apache servers.

In case there is any doubt, this is the way to go.
