how to handle URLs in PHP

Question

I am creating job portal website. In that, for displaying job I use job.php?id='ID' i.e http://localhost/job.php?id=1 in URL.
I want to display it by using job title and location not id.

For example:

Job Title is : "PHP developer" and the Location is: "London"
So I want to display URL like

http://localhost/PHP-developer-jobs-in-London/

How to display this in PHP?

You'll need to use your HTTP server to rewrite the URL to a PHP-script. Useful answers here on Stack Owerflow:
