Try any of these..

# To externally redirect /index.php?id=123 to /index.php/123
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\s([^.]+)\.php\?id=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2/%3? [R,L]

# To externally redirect index.php?id=123 to /index.php/123
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\s([^.]+)\.php\?id=([^&\s]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R,L]

# To internally forward /index.php/12 to /index.php?id=12
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/([^/]+)(/[^/]+)?/?$ $1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

I still don't understand you...
