How do i set it up so that when people visit by typing http://www.site.com/topic it redirects to http://www.site.com/index.php?page=topic without changing the url in the address bar?

and is this search engine friendly?

You can create server redirects in cPanel, or look into the PHP header function:

[php]header ("Location: http://www.php.net");[/php]

i thought that that would redirect the user to that web address? rather than change the apparent url in the address bar?
