Cloud9247 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Well,I have had a membership system set up for about 2 months on my site, [a href=\"http://the-knighthood.net\" target=\"_blank\"]http://the-knighthood.net[/a], and I was wanting to set it up so each user can have their profile viewed at [a href=\"http://the-knighthood.net/~Username~\" target=\"_blank\"]http://the-knighthood.net/~Username~[/a], instead of [a href=\"http://the-knighthood.net/member.php?member=view&profile=4\" target=\"_blank\"]http://the-knighthood.net/member.php?membe...w&profile=4[/a] (too long x_X), but I have no idea how to do this, and I can't seem to get any help off of google, please help!Thank you, Cloud9247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 you have to setup a subdomain with the user's name. you can do that in cpanel. not sure you can do that through php or not though.edit: wait, i totally misread your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litebearer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Sledgehammer approach...when user registers and submits profile, script creates a folder using the user's name AND creates an index.php file in that folder to display the profile.OR perhaps I too mis-read your question.Lite...

.josh Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 okay so i lied a little bit. i kinda sorta know how to do it but not completely. well i know there is a way to do it by putting some stuff in .htaccess something like [code]+FollowSymlinksRewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^varname/(.*) http://www.blah.com/profile.php?varname=$1 [/code]and then when you do likewww.blah.com/CrayonViolentit takes you to profile.php?varname=CrayonViolent and you just get the info via regular means like $_GET or $_REQUESTi hope that points you in the right direction...

trq Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Assuming your using an Apache server. [a href=\"http://modrewrite.com\" target=\"_blank\"]mod_rewrite[/a] is what your looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
