Using Mod_Rewrite to remove the GET query

I am trying to get page.php?title=foo to change to /page/foo. I've got it working to the point the page.php goes to /page/, but when I do page.php?title=foo it rewrites the url to /page/title?title=foo.

I'd like to remove the ?title=foo part of the last url. Any ideas?

I'm new to this - I tried to follow tutorials but am unsure what the [OR] and [NC] (etc) mean. 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^$              [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^title=(.*)$    [NC]
RewriteRule ^page.php$       page/%1      [NC,L,R=301]

You can do something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule page.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)$ page.php/?title=$1 // $1 - content of ()

So, when user ask http://example.com/page/foo, Apache will open him http://example.com/page.php/?title=foo. But adressbar is still with http://example.com/page/foo

For all of my devs, I forward all requests to the index.php, I exclude all css, js, jp(e)g, pdf, zip etc.

.htaccess

DirectoryIndex  index.php
#ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?page=404
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !\.(ico|docx|php|png|css|jpe?g|js|pdf|txt|mp3)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$      index.php

Then in your PHP boot code,

Setup vars to give content and use $_GET later if you want.... Exemple : 

<?php
function rewrite(){
$link = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];    
    $params = array("base_url", "locale", "page", "action", "par1", "par2", "par3", "par4");
    $extraParams = preg_match("/\?/i", $link, $extraParamsMatches);
    if($extraParams){
        $link =  explode("?", $link);
        $link = $link[0];
    }
    $link = explode("/", $link);
    $i = 0;
    $vals = array();
    foreach($link as  $key => $value){
        if($params[$key] == "base_url") $value = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
        //if(empty($value)) continue ;
        $vals[$params[$key]] = $value;
        if($i == sizeof($params)-1){        
            break;
        }
    $i++;
    }
    return $vals;
}
}    
?>

IMPORTANT YOU CAN EDIT THIS CODE TO IMPROVE SECURITY FOR EXAMPLE SANITIZE DATA BEFORE USE IT IN THE FUNCTION ;-) if the requested page is not found physically or in array from php or database, you can send header('Location : ',true, 404); and give your 404 page !!
