How can routers and server configurations impact the handling of long URLs in PHP?

Routers and server configurations can impact the handling of long URLs in PHP by potentially truncating or altering the URL before it reaches the PHP script. To solve this issue, you can configure your server to allow longer URLs or use URL rewriting techniques to ensure that the full URL is passed to the PHP script. 

// Example of using URL rewriting in Apache's .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
