If this is apache then it works, you don't need to do anything, except get
the "products" to be known as a script.
The "unused" parts of the path will then be given to you by the
environment variable PATH_INFO
If you use the name "products.php" then it should work as-is.
http://www.mysite.com/products.php/more/stuff/goes/here
(PATH_INFO will contain "/more/stuff/goes/here")
If you really want to use "products" then you need to set something up so
force apache to recognize the script as being a php script. Normally
apache is configured to look for the ending ".php", but you can flag a
specific files for special handling, or an entire directory, by putting
the right rule in the conf file, or in the .htaccess file, though I
haven't done that for this task so I can't show you an example.
