What I do to control it only by PHP without using the mod_rewrite for apache is to use URL with this format:
http://sample.com/script.php/param1/param2/param3 Then, work in the script looking at the variable $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] wich will contain, in this sample: /script.php/param1/param2/param3 You can explode the uri in an array: $params = explode('/', substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1); I used the substr dunction to remove the first slash. On the resulting array you will have, by index [0] = script.php [1] = param1 [2] = param2 [3] = param3 This works with Apache. I've not tested it on IIS, but suspect that it will not work on ISS. Hope this helps you. Jordi.
