update .htaccess to URL rewriting

Question

I have a URL that looks like:

url.com/show.php?id=abc
url.com/show.php?id=xxx

How would I go about converting that URL to

url.com/abc
url.com/xxx

How do I go about making friendly URLs in PHP?

I guess you want something like the following in your .htaccess file

#Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ show.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
