Ok, feel free to think that my previous message was not answering your question... I am not going to argue regarding that subject, it will be wasting of your and my time.
The more important is that now we know what are you looking for and that you will do those nice URLs in spite of everything...

Since you are OK with such URLs:
Quote:
|
_http://example.com/index.php/about/history
|
you will need to create index.php script which will parse the URL and redirects the user to required URL:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
?>
the request was:
Quote:
|
_http://example.com/test.php/somepath/var1/var2/index.htm
|
the output was:
Quote:
|
/test.php/somepath/var1/var2/index.htm
