Want to know about this

[barbara1712]

Hello Guys
In some sites i have seen yoursite.com/register, I want to know what does this register represents
is it a folder or something else. Please tell me.

If it was /register/ (note end slash) yes it would be a folder (most likely).

Otherwise, it is the use of Apache's mod_rewrite. You might want to google mod_rewrite for more info, or check out the Apache Config. forum.

While unlikely, it could mean that there is an indxe.php file in the /register/ folder

However, it is most probably mod_rewrite, which "rewrites" the url to a actual file located elsewhere on the server.

If it was /register/ (note end slash) yes it would be a folder (most likely).

Personally, i dont see why it is any more likely either way
