How do I convert a PHP query string into a slash-based URL?

Question

I am a pretty skilled programmer, but when it comes to RegEx and rewriting, I am a total n00b. I want to convert a URL from

http://www.example.com/lookup.ph

Take a look on htaccess rewrite urls! :)

Here's your example:

RewriteRule ^lookup/(\d+)/(.*)$ /lookup.php?id=$1&name=$2

When you access lookup/123/my-product/, it'll call the lookup.php?id=123&name=my-product file internally.
