I've been toying with the idea of using Wordpress as a CMS to replace the various database-driven pages I've kludged together over the years. I'm wondering though if there's a seamless way to grab info from a database based on the URL.
e.g. I have pages that serve up info on awards
/academy-awards grabs the intro info from the database
/academy-awards/32 grabs the intro info about the 32nd edition
/academy-awards/32/winners grabs the results and commentary for that ceremony
Now, academy-awards is actually an extensionless php file and depending on what comes after it (nothing, a number, a number and word) it serves up the various pages.
How would/could I translate that work into Wordpress? I'm a complete WP noob, so I'm hoping your initial answers can help me dig a little more.
