Question

I have build a basic blog application, where an admin can write the article in backend and the users can read it from frontend. i want to make my URL pretty so that it becomes SEO friendly. the url of the articles look like,

http://example.com/news.php?id=22
http://example.com/news.php?id=23
http://example.com/news.php?id=24
http://example.com/news.php?id=25

I want to make it clean and user or SEO friendly, what i want to achieve is in the news table in database i have a column name called title, and i want to display it as URI along with the combination of date. for example i want the URL to be like

http://example.com/news/01092010/this-is-first-news-title

how do i do it. is there any article that might be of help to me?
