How to change appearance of URL from within a PHP script

I have this in my address bar

localhost/somedirectory/main.php?id=123456

how to hide those GET variables, so it becomes

localhost/somedirectory/main/123456

I know .htaccess is the answer but my attempts so far are to no avail. Could someone please shed some light on how to achieve it?

Answer 1

No way to do it with PHP the way you want!

Only htaccess will help for this task.

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase    /
RewriteRule ^localhost/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$    localhost/$1/$2.php?id=$3
