Using a slash to denote data

[aktar]

In CodeIgniter you can do the following index.php/myfunction

This then calls myfunction() and displays the output of that function.

Can anyone help me understand how the forward slash (/) does the same job as the question mark (?)

Is it not done through .htaccess?

I mean the same way urls are changed from ?something=else into /something/else

well, codeigniter doesnt require any modification of .htaccess and it still works
