Answer 1

What you need, is called mod_rewrite .

Here's a sample tutorial that can be useful to you : http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite

Answer 2

One way to do it, is using URL rewrite support of Apache. For example, if you've a webpage called show.php?id= numeric-id you can map it to /show/ numeric-id with the following rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/show/([0-9]+)$ /show.php?id=$1

This configuration can be put in Apache Virtualhost configuration or in a .htaccess file, provided that the permissions FileInfo and Options of AllowOverride are activated. To activate them, add a line like this in Apache configuration:

AllowOverride FileInfo Options

Alternatively, All activates all permissions:

AllowOverride All
