Some Special URL format such as Wordpress

[mostafatalebi]

Hello every body

 

I have been thinking of URL format of some websites that looks strange to me, as their filing structure (url relects path stracture) is something else. Let me give you an example:

A wordpress-made site's url of a post is like this

 

http://example.com/blog/?p=63 (why we have ?=p63, can anybody please explain? I know 63 has something to do with id or numbering, my question is around the way it is placed. usually we have file name there)

 

 

or a website has a url like this:

www.example.com/2012/cat/game/sport/123456789.php  (is the url is really like the folders? for instance there really are all of these folders?

 

 

Thanks in advance

That's just a regular query string. 63 would presumably be the ID number of the post to display.

 

or a website has a url like this:

www.example.com/2012/cat/game/sport/123456789.php  (is the url is really like the folders? for instance there really are all of these folders?

Those are definitely not real folders.
