Change URL to shorter

Question

I have a URL

http://example.com/test/search.php?id=SearchWord

And i want to change this into

http://example.com/test/SearchWord

Now i tried somethings with .htaccess but i couldn't get it work because i need to $_GET['id'].

I have a if function that checks on $_GET['id'].

How do i do this with the new short URL and how to shorten the URL ?

Have you done any research on this? Looks like you have not. — Hozikimaru, Dec 18 '14 at 00:56
How do people get to this page? Is it a target for a search form? — zerkms, Dec 18 '14 at 01:00

You can do this using mod_rewrite in apache.

This will let you set a RegEx for the requested URL and forward it to a different URL!

In your .htaccess, give this a try:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)$ /test/search.php?id=$1 [L]
