You could do something like this, but you don't get the value of .htaccess

Code:

index.php?pathname/subpath/sub-subpath

Using either the $_GET or $_REQUEST arrays.
You can then parse the first (and only in the case of the $_GET) array index name contained therein.

i.e.

Code:

 // index.php

<?php

print '<pre>';
print_r($_REQUEST); // Will also contain whatever session variables that are set...
print_r($_GET);
print '</Pre>';

Code:

 // output of index.php
Array // Output of $_REQUEST
(
    [pathname/subpath/sub-subpath] => 
    [SESSvariables_maybe_set] => 
)
Array  // Output of $_GET
(
    [pathname/subpath/sub-subpath] => 
)

If you use that method, also look into grabbing $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Another way you could use is having index.php itself act as the base directory:

Code:

/index.php/pathname/subpath/sub-subpath

PHP Code:

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ; // /index.php/pathname/subpath/sub-subpath 

Then with some manipulation:

PHP Code:

$uri  = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$file = '/' . strtolower( basename( __FILE__ ) );
$base = strtolower( substr( $uri, 0, strlen( $file ) ) );

if ( $uri !== $file && $file === $base )
{
    $uri = substr( $uri, strlen( $file ) );
}

// http://localhost/
echo $uri; // -> /

// http://localhost/index.php
echo $uri; // -> /index.php

// http://localhost/index.php/
echo $uri; // -> /

// http://localhost/index.php/some/path/name
echo $uri; // -> /some/path/name
