Assuming that the 1 and 2 are really the same id, you can add these rules to the htaccess file in your document root:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
ReewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/([^/.]+)\.html$ /gallery.php?id=$2&title=$1 [L]

This makes it so when someone goes to http://mydomain.com/foo/bar.html, they get served the content at /gallery.php?id=bar&title=foo.

In order to correct all the external links beyond your control to start using the new nicer looking URL, you can add these too:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /gallery\.php\?id=([^&]+)&title=([^\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^ /%2/%1.html? [L,R=301]

This makes it so when someone puts http://mydomain.com/gallery.php?id=123456&title=blah, the browser gets redirected to http://mydomain.com/blah/123456.html, thus changing the address in their browser's address bar to the nicer looking URL.
