Just a quickie.

Just wondered what’s going on when you see this (example):

user.php?name=david

Is there a specific term for this?

Cheers

Is it likely the "david" is stored in a database or is stored in user.php with a long list of names and it just limits it to "david" (if that's possible, if so how)?
 
What I mean is that the "david" is obvisuoly used to identify something and will present the data associated with it.

E.g. Look at the OC website:
overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-035-BG

What would be a rough idea of the php used here?
