Hello everyone
This is my first post here so please go easy on me. I've been using/developing php for little over a year now, simple things (help desk, asset database) for my company. But there is 1 thing that has always bugged me and I can't find out how to do it.

I've noticed on some site's (blogs and php.net) that they dont have the usually page url, such as
http://www.somedomain.com/pages/about.php
but more like
http://www.somedomain.com/about/
or blog entries like
http://www.somedomain.com/blog/2005/11/09/

I just wondered how do they do that? I don't think they create a new directory for each entry or am I wrong there?

I know that is kinda of a vague question, it's just im redoing my blog atm (i use mysql for storing all my entries) and at the moment the url is usually like http://www.somedomain.com/blog/id=23232 < entry number
I'd really like to change that to http://www.somedomain.com/blog/2005/11/09.

If anyone can help that would be great
