Reformatting URLS?

furious5

I am currently writing a site and I would like to rewrite the url, I've heard people mention mod rewrite and was wondering if this would do the trick.

If I have a URL like: http://www.domain.com/index.php?id=3

Could I resolve the URL to look something like this: http://www.domain.com/Bob/

Where id3 = Bob in a table?

Any ideas would be great

You need to check into URL Masking and Apache mod writing.

If you're on Apache, yes.
