It’s always boggled me. When you ask a question on stack over flow the url does not have any get statement. It also does not have any extension like .cgi or .php.

However it is not a static html page it is database driven since it changes when you post answers or questions.

Does it have something to do with their .htaccess configuration. How can one achieve a similar effect.

Using php or another language how can someone create a dynamic editable php without manually doing it, for example via a form like the way I submitted this question.

    For example, Apache uses the mod_rewrite module to accomplish this behavior.
