Im currently building a site for a university project, and im stuck with something. basically I have a users page were you can view a users profile. I pass the username to the page and the users details are loaded. for example. http://www.mywebsite.com/users/index.php?username=mrbrightside so that all works. But I want to be a bit more professional with this and somehow hide the variable name. Ive seen it done on other website, but cant work out how or if it is possible to do using PHP. Basically how i want the URL to appear would be: http://www.mywebsite.com/users/mrbrightside so the user name is passed, but you dont see the name of the page (index.php) nor the query string (?username=mrbrightside) is this possible? - if so how? thanks a million in advance stuart
