Use mod_rewrite:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

With mod_rewrite, you can define URL rewriting rules. Say, every time
Apache receives a request to show /user1, it would actually show, say,
/index.php?user=user1. Since no redirection is involved, the user
still sees /user1 in her browser's address bar...
