Plain URLs from dynamic PHP page

Question

I am creating a question and answer site using PHP. Questions are viewed on one page using 'question.php?qid=1234', is the the correct thing to do, if so how to I make pages have URLs that search engines like StackOverflow (e.g. 'http://mysite.com/question/1234'). I am using Apache and MySQL. I have add a look around but I still don't quite understand what to do. Thanks in advance :)

(Sorry if this has already been asked)

you can use .htaccess. Otherwise, learn PHP frameworks for this. — planet x

Some folks thinks this is not a worthy question. Regarding of the difficulty it is to you, it may be just plain easy on them, considering it as a not-to-asked question. Don't feel down with just a downvote :) — planet x
