Looking to put the following into my htaccess file:

 User visits http://mysite.com/test/test/123
 User is actually visiting http://mysite.com/test/index.php?q=123

I have seen it done before but I can’t figure it out. The user is not supposed to see that they are visiting the second url. This is particularly useful for SEO. Can anyone help me on this one?

Updated Code for Answer:

Options -Multiviews
rewriterule ^test\/([a-zA-Z]+)\/([0-9]+)$ test\/index\.php?id=$3  [L]

*Note: The Options -Multiviews is needed for GoDaddy hosting to enable mod_rewrite.*

    Be sure mod_rewrite is on:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)\.html$ test.php?id=$2
