This fit my needs perfectly and is very simple and allows for a great amount of flexibility. This will allow me to write any amount of pretty url's with unlimited depth while maintaining a single directory structure for my files.
Example URL: example.com/foo-bar/ would use /foo-bar.php
Example URL: example.com/foo-bar/string/ would use /foo-bar_string.php
Example URL: example.com/foo-bar/string/subsection would use /foo-bar_string_subsection.php
Example URL: example.com/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i would use /a_b_c_d_e_f_g_h_i.php
This file should be used as index.php.
The following .htaccess rules should be used (thanks to requinix @ forums.devnetwork.net)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) index.php [L]
$_GET and $_POST will still be abailable in their usual manner
<?php
/**
* A very simple URL manager/rewriter/router, set this file as index.php
* With .htaccess rule, allows any length of "pretty URL's" to be written and
* funneled to this index.php and routed to their actual scripts.
*
* For example, a URL of /foo-bar/ would be directed to /foo-bar.php
* For example, a URL of /foo-bar/example/ would be directed to
* /foo-bar_example.php
* For example a URL of /foo-bar/example/detail/subsection/ would be directed
* to /foo-bar_example_detail_subscection.php
*
* The .htacess file should look like this: (thanks to requinix @ forums.devnetwork.net)

* RewriteEngine On
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
* RewriteRule ^/?(.*) index.php [L]
