Answer 1

You can use .htaccess file..

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

in this example:

com/members/454418

$_GET['url'] = 454418

give it a try..

Answer 2

You need to use URL rewriting.

Please check the Apache URL Rewriting Guide.
