URL Variables are essentially GET variables. I myself am no expert in programming, bu I know how to explain how to access the data inside a URL simply.
If you have the url http://example.com/index.php?id=3&action=edit you can, inside your PHP code, access those url variables by simply calling $_GET['id'] and $_GET['action']. To create them, you can simply generate your own like http://example.com/index.php?custom=cool.
There are definitely other ways of passing variables to a URL, such as with forms, but I hope you get the general idea on how variables work inside the URL.
