How can you rewrite any url like so?

http://example.com/fooey >> http://example.com/define.php?w=fooey

EDIT: So that when some one goes to the first link they are sent to the second.

Add this to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /define.php?w=$1 [L]

So http://example.com/define.php?w=fooey will be accesible from http://example.com/fooey

I don't know if the url can be forced to cahnge (like forcing http://example.com/fooey when accessing http://example.com/define.php?w=fooey).
