Please forgive any obvious ignorances on my part, I am just learning PHP...

Having read quite a bit on-line, I am interested in trying to "trap" URLs
sent to my site so I can process the request and respond without
neccessarily having a "real" page to serve. If this makes any sense, how do
I do it? Because I expect that apache (in my case) would not like a URL that
contains extra directories/files and would reject it.

An example:

Web Site Root:

www.abc.com/index.php

On that page are "a" tags to further information but which physically don't
exist. It will be automatically generated from a database. For example:

www.abc.com/cars/volvo/X70.html

If I don't have that directory tree and a file called X70.html. Could I
"trap" the http/URL request (BEFORE apache throws it out) and process it in
my PHP control-engine which will find the right information and respond
accordingly?

Thanks in advance,

Alan

PS, if there are any examples of this (GPL) which you know of, please just
pass me the link.
