If you're using apache you could look into the PATH_INFO aspects...
basically converting URLS like:

domain.com/path/to/page.php?id=3

to

domain.com/path/to/page.php/id=3

then using PATH_INFO and substr() and parse_str() to get to $id = 3..  and
you can always add more stuff so it looks like plain html by doing:

domain.com/path/to/page.php/id=3-foo.html

It does mean changing your code and checking relative links (or using
<base href>), but it does work.
