Can the URL be controlled for more user-friendly readability?

I haven't tried them yet, but I've been tagging all the PHP
frameworks I come across:
http://del.icio.us/rkm28/php+framework
The first one I want to try is PHP on Trax (http://
www.phpontrax.com/). It was used to build the KatrinaHousing.org
site that was used to provide housing for victims right after the
hurricane.

There are a lot of PHP frameworks available, some more mature than others but
not yet a predominant one. Anyway if you're going to develop with PHP5 I
recommend you ZNF: http://znf.zeronotice.com
Best regards.

PHP General,
I have a PHP/MySQL web site where there are profiles for performers at
a comedy show. The profiles are accessed by passing a variable to the
PHP script via URL, which can then look up the right performer data in
the database.
The resulting URL looks like this:
http://www.tokyocomedy.com/people.php?person=6
However, having "?person=6" in the URL is not only ugly, but it makes
it hard for people to remember URLs and for the performers to use them
when sending out information about themselves.
It would be much nicer to have the url look more like this:
http://www.tokyocomedy.com/firstname-lastname
Or something like that.
But I can't figure out if there is a way to control the way the URL
reads after the performer has been looked up. And, even if I could,
would the system be able to retrieve performer data if someone typed the
name directly into the URL.
Obviously, I'm still a bit of a beginner with PHP. I may have
approached this issue from the wrong starting point, so please let me
know if I'm missing something fundamental.
Thank you for any advice you may have.

So if you are using Apache as your webserver you can use mod_rewrite to
rewrite the URL to something else.
So for example, create a rewrite rule to rewrite firstname_lastname to
people.php?fn=firstname&ln=lastname
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)\-([^-]+)\.html$ people.php?fn=$1&ln=$2 [L,NC,NS]
Next, the PHP page will have to do something to make it friendlier and
expect the person's name and not a number, then lookup the number so it
can be used in a query etc.
So for a URL like this: http://www.tokyocomedy.com/firstname-lastname.html
It will appear to your page as this: people.php?fn=firstname&ln=lastname
So, at the top of your page or wherever you would normally look up the
record for person=6:
$result = yoursqlfunc("SELECT person FROM sometable WHERE
firstname='$_GET[fn]' AND lastname='$_GET[ln]'");
Then use your SQL function to get person from $result.
Then you should have person=6 and continue as normal.

Make sure to parse the input, instead of using $_GET... it's too easy for
hackers to embed stuff...
