I'll often see a URL that looks something like this:site.com/articles/may/05/02/2011/article-name.phpSurely all of those subdirectories don't actually exist? It seems like it would be a huge redundancy, even if it was only an identical index file in every directory. To change anything you'd have to change every single one.I guess my question is, is there some more elegant way that sites usually accomplish this?
Directory structure and script arguments
