That's done with a little bit of Apache's mod_rewrite magic ;). I
suggest you to read this article [
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting ] which is of a
great help, however checking the manual reference ( google for
'mod_rewrite' ) will help you a lot too. If you get stuck somewhere,
state your questions here :)

Hope this helps,
