I’ve seen this on some other sites, how does Wikipedia have their URL’s the way they do, without the file name at the end?  
ie. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireFox](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireFox)

I know they use PHP, but FireFox/index.php doesn’t exist. I’m trying to do something similar, but would hate having to dynamically create an index page for each URL (because that might mean I have to change a zillion files if I want to change the index page?)

Any help is much appreciated!
