well he means he don't know as to capture the $_GET values of www.example.com/category/Pizzas in php source code.
this is all done with apache mod rewrite or nginx:
on your index.php page you can define it:
php will get this:
www.example.com/index.php?page=category&cat=Pizzas
and user will see www.example.com/category/Pizzas on URL (thanks to mod rewrite):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ index.php?page=category&cat=$1 [L]
