help with mod_rewrite

Recommended Posts

i've done this

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ profile.php?user=$1 [L]

 

to make

www.example.com/profile.php?user=testing

into

www.example.com/testing

 

What i'd like to do is change..

 

www.example.com/profile.php?user=testing

into

www.example.com/user=testing

 

What is the RewriteRule to accomplish this?  Also if i used $_GET['user'] with the second clean url would it still work?

Yes, because you are still actually receiving a request to profile.php?user=testing as if the rewrite doesn't exist.
