passing a variable without ?= in php (possibly .htaccess)
===

I'm making a site with custom cms, in php/mysql.

It's laid out like:

**MYSQL Database**
Table name
id, title, description, keywords, content

**CMs**
Connect to DB, list contents of Table
Get id
Edit title, description, keywords, content
Save back to DB

**Website**
Connect to DB, where title=home

**Example of php page**

    <?php //connect to database ?>
    <html>
    <title><?php echo $title;?></title>
    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description; ?>" >
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keywords; ?>" >
    <body>
    <?php echo $content; ?>
    </body>
    <?php include_once("footer.php"); ?>


So the ideas is to connect to the page and supply the title, which will then connect to the database, retrieve the appropriate row from the table and display the page, eg:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?title=home

Would display the home page of the site.

Is there a way of removing **index.php?title=** from the url and still pass the variable, so a user would visit http://www.mysite.com/home 

I think there is by editing the .htaccess file, but I'm unsure?
