Thanks for that. I've now managed to get the first method I posted to
work (It didn't due to my stupidity in reading the instructions...) It
feels like an instinctively better way of doing it. Instead of passing
everything that is not a file to a script (or in your example passing
everything to a script) the ForceType method is specifically targeted.
The method is this: a php file is saved /without an extension/. Let's
say the file is called articles. The following is placed in .htaccess
<Files article>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
This causes Apache to treat our extensionless file as a php file. The
URL produced just looks like a series of directories e.g.
/article/news/local
Obviously the directories do not exist.
Apache has the feature of looking back up the URL till it comes to
something it recognises - in this case our file article. article
contains code to extract the variables from $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
