URL Rewrite with PHP on Windows IIS

Unfortunately I don't have access to the Windows Server in question, so I would need instructions as to how I could do this so I can pass it on.

Basically, I am using PHP on a Windows IIS 6 and I need to be able to rewrite the URLs as you would with a .htaccess file.

I need to turn example.com/index.php?page=about

into

example.com/about/

Any ideas?

Many thanks

You can use the this plugin to IIS, as using regex. 

IIS URL Rewrite 2.0 enables Web administrators to create
powerful rules to implement URLs that are easier for users to
remember and easier for search engines to find. By using rule

templates, rewrite maps, .NET providers, and other functionality integrated into IIS Manager, Web administrators can easily set up rules to define URL rewriting behavior based on HTTP headers, HTTP response or request headers, IIS server variables, and even complex

programmatic rules. In addition, Web administrators can perform

redirects, send custom responses, or stop HTTP requests

Here it explains how to use it.

If you do not have access to the IIS server itself, then you are out of luck.

If you can convince the server operators to install an URL rewriting engine, like Ionic's Isapi Rewrite Filter or Helicon's ISAPI/Rewrite for example, then you can use regular .htaccess files just like you would with Apache and mod_rewrite.
