I am confused as to how, for example, this page is loaded. I am looking at the navigation bar in my browser and it says:

stackoverflow.com/questions/ask

I am used to seeing this for the pages I develop:

Example.com/ask.php

Why does their URL not contain page names or values? Or does it? If so, how.

Thanks.

    The URL does not have to correspond to an actual pathname in the local filesystem on the server, that’s just convention.

    Often, the URL will be rewritten.
