I know how these kind of URLs load the page … based on their GET parameter.

http://www.bedupako.com/songs.php?page=show_song_details.php&songid=1167&n=0&back=no

and in the back-end roughly something like this:

<?php
switch($_GET['page']) {
case 'xx': include('my page');break;
.
.
.
default: include('default');break;
}
?>

But how do these kinds of URLs work? I mean, how is the data loaded dynamically?

www.dummysite.com/parm/subpage1/xyz
www.dummysite.com/parm/subpage2/xyz

How are these parsed similar to the GET param like websites?

    You can use mod_rewrite by itself as others have suggested, but most sites do not do this because its not very flexible, and can be annoying to maintain if you have more than a couple of these “pretty” URLS.

    Instead they set up a basic rewrite rule to forward everything to a single index.php and then on the application side they parse the URI based on defined patterns – these are called “routes”. Route parsing usually happens in some kind of routing class which process the defined routes and compares them to the URI, and then when it finds a match parses out the parameters for the matched route.

    These all provide good examples of a router, but they are hard to understand without the other interacting classes:
