The former ain't much harder:

====================================================
<?php
# call this file "foo.php".

if (strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']))
{
print "This is {$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']}";
exit;
}
elseif (strlen($_GET['name']))
{
header("Location: foo.php/{$_GET['name']}");
exit;
}
?>
<form action="foo.php" method="get">
<input name="name">
<input type="submit">
</form>
====================================================

and then visit foo.php.
