Strange (to me) URL?

Occasionally, I'll see a PHP site url that ends in a numeric value, and it's
not a GET string.

Prbly some server artifact, but I wonder if anyone cd tell us how that
works. Is this Apache's rewrite function?

Maybe, would be easier to say if you tell that url.

some pages place a random query value to prevent caching
- but is that what you mean by "...not a GET string."?

A session ID, maybe? Those aren't entirely numeric, though. Do you
have an example URL? If it's something like this,

http://example.com/phpbb/post/15332

...then yeah, the site is using rewrite directives to build
cleaner-looking URIs.
