how to write code for displaying page id

[shortysbest]

I have code that makes the url of my site

 

index.php?node=(username)&section=users

 

node being the php file inside of the folder called users

 

I would like the url to be something like.

 

index.php?node=profile&username=(whatever username in database that is called is)

 

or something along the lines of this. idk.

 

What i am trying to do is to get the url from a database, like maybe get the username and have that be the url instead of having to have a php file for every user on the site

 

Im not sure how to do this though :\

 

my current code is:

 

<?php
$section = $_GET['section'];
$page = $_GET['node'];
if ($page)
{
	//check for section
	if (!$section)
	$section = "inc"; 
	$path = $section."/".$page.".php"; 
	if(file_exists($path))
	{include($path);}

	else
	{$error = "inc/error.php"; include($error);}
}		
else
{$error = "inc/error.php"; include($error);}
?>

use the user id instead, and simply echo out the id of the user, then when searching for the users info to manipulate, you just use the id in your query to find it
