Spider-safe index.php/URL/decoding. See John Coggeshall's excellent example of this.

<?php
// extract variables from directory style GETs 
 $res = explode("index.php/", $REQUEST_URI); 

                            If (count($res) > 1) { 

                                // THANK YOU YARAGN@YARAGN.CO.UK FOR THIS WONDERFUL CODE. CAN I BE YOUR FRIEND. 

                                $rest = explode("?",$res[1]); 

                                $vars = explode("/", $rest[0]); 

                                FOR ($i=0; $i < count($vars); $i++) { 

                                    If (substr($vars[$i],strlen($vars[$i])-2,2) 

                            == "[]") { 

                                        $temp = substr($vars[$i],0,strlen($vars 
 [$i])-2); 

                                        ${$temp}[] = $vars[$i+1]; 

                                    } Else { 

                                        If (isset($vars[$i+1])) ${$vars[$i]} = 
 $vars[$i+1]; 

                                    } 

                                $i++; 

                            } 

                            } 
?>
