You'll need an .htaccess file (but you won't need to change it each time you add a page):

RewriteEngine On 
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Note: Put the RewriteBase comment in there in case you need to uncomment it as some configurations require this.
