rewrite url with get variable

I want to write <a href="product.php?id=5">as product/5.I am not talking about user to type doamin.com/product/5 to get the result, what I am looking for is- when user click the link, the browser address bar will show the url as domain.com/product/5.

Is it possible?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Just write:

<a href="/product/5">LINK</a>

What you also need is a .htaccess file, that handles mod_rewrite, for example:

# turn mod_rewrite engine on 
RewriteEngine On

# rewrite all physical existing file or folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# allow things that are certainly necessary
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/css/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/images/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/images/" [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/javascript/"

# rewrite rules
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?_route=$1 [QSA]

With you'll get a $_GET['_route'] which's value will be /product/5. The rest is up to your php code to parse that string.
