Beautifying ?name=content

[Gena_Wenli]

I have a PHP page where it gets a variable from the URL and does things with it.
So the end of the URL looks like this:
index.php?album=35508
Is there a way to make this look cleaner?
like, perhaps, /album/35508

I know you can change your permalink structure in many CMSes to be like the two examples I just made, is this the same type of thing?
