http://something.mywebsite.com/area/region_name
-->
indexMap1.php?location=region_name

inside indexMap?location=region_name
-------8<-----
$location = filtered($_GET['location']);
#where filtered is a function which makes sure that the location is
checked against allowed values, and that it does not contain html, and
that it is urlencoded.
echo '<script
type="text/javascript"
src="/indexMapContents1.php?area='.$location.'">
</script>';
--------------------------

this would produce markup like so
<script type="text/javascript" src="/indexMapContents1.php?
area=region_name"></script>

inside indexMapContents1.php
---------------8<--------------
$location = filtered($_GET['location']);
//use $location as normal
--------------------------------
