Redirect URLs without .htaccess – SEO

I have a website that contains URLs in this format www.example.com/jobs.php?id=123456

All URLs are stored in a database.

I want to make SEO friendly URLs (example:www.example.com/this-is-my-first-job)

I have built this website in php.

is it possible to generate SEO friendly urls from the current format without modifying the .htaccess file ?

    I am saying simple.

    When someone post a job to my website, I store all information in database and generate a unique key (let say 123456) and populate on a single page based on the URL that would be www.somewebsite.com?mypage?id=123456 Now I want the existing url to be changed. I want that when user hit this URL, he will automatically be redirected to some different URL that is stored in database too.

    As far i understand your question, first you need .htaccess for SEO friendly URL. Now, for example www.example.com/jobs.php?id=123456 is an URL and you want to redirect the user to www.example.com/this-is-my-first-job which is stored in database.
    Let see,

    if(isset($_GET['id'])){
   //get the slug from database against id
   header("Location: www.example.com/".$slug);
 }

    How to get the id from slug?

    write in .htaccess

    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)$ index.php?slug=$1 [QSA,NC,L]

    now in PHP

        if(isset($_GET['slug'])){
     //get the id from database against slug
     }
