Dynamic URL

[timmah1]

How would I write a mod-rewrite to go from

http://site.com/profile.php?id=100

 

to this

http://site.com/username

 

I've searched, but all I could find was this

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule profile/username/(.*)/ profile.php?username=$1
RewriteRule profile/username/(.*) profile.php?username=$1	

 

This turns the URL into this

http://site.com/username/$username but I don't want that, I'd like to be able to just have someone type in the URL/username to access that profile.

 

How is this done?

 

Thanks in advance
