Convert URL with querystring to "Search Engine Friendly" URL

Question

I wondered if it was possible to rewrite a URL so designed for the rewrite wrote in htaccess.

e.g.

I have the URL: http://example.com/page.php?page=5&action=something

But I want to change the URL to: example.com/page/5/something

This is just for the href, the htaccess bit is solved.

Nothing, just wondered if there was a way of doing it through PHP :) — ITg

I just need to replace ?page= with a '/' basically but even if the page is something different like action — ITg

Any half decent IDE with a search and replace function should handle this with ease. — Russell Dias

You could write a utility function which converted between the plain and "SEF" versions, then if your scheme changed you could update the function and not have to manually change the links again. — pharalia

function rewritelink($link){
    $link = str_replace('.php','', $link);
    $pattern = "/\?[^=]*=/";
    $replacement = '/';
    $link = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $link);
    $pattern = "/\&[^=]*=/";
    $replacement = '/';
    $link = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $link);
    return $link;
}
