How to make PHP pages search engine friendly

[David Moore]

I am attempting to create some dynamically generated web pages using PHP
(with an mySQL database in the backend) for our library research guides,
etc, but I want to make them search engine friendly. It is my understanding
that the url cannot have ? and & characters, but I need to replace them with
slashes. 

I have found a few web pages that explain how to do this using
$path_info, etc., but I'm not having much luck with it. I have PHP loaded on
a Windows 2000 server.

Therefore I was wondering if anyone out there has already achieved this and
if so, can you show me how you did it? Thanks!
