PHP Redirects QueryString to Page

I would like to improve SEO results for a site that is currently being fed by a database and as such has pages with things like gallery/index.php?id=55 with a title of Golden Image

How do I convert a dynamic ID driven page to go from
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/index.php?id=55 (title: Golden Image)
to
http://www.mysite.com/gallery/golden-image/

I have to assume this can be done, but I need a starting point. Ideas?

You will need to manage your code which will load page by title not by id if the page have unique title or seo friendly link then your can do it. Can you post your table structure??

Table structure is:
ID TITLE CATEGORY MOREINFO

55 Golden Image Paintings Lots of details about this product

so instead of gallery/?id=55, I want gallery/paintings/golden-image/

gallery/CATEGORY/TITLE/
