$_GET not working properly

[The Little Guy]

.htaccess

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?user=$1		[nc]

 

http://tzfiles.com/album/Ryan

header.php

<?php
echo'Viewing ('.$_GET['user'].'\'s) Profile';
?>

 

The above code echo's out index.php, I need it to echo out Ryan. I can't figure out what is wrong, and why it is doing this. I'm not sure, but I think it is something to do with the .htaccess file.

 

header.php is in the root folder, the .htaccess is in a sub folder, and an index.php file is in the same folder as the .htaccess file. the index.php file includes the header.php file like so: include"../header.php";

Have you tried adding a / before "index.php?user=$1"?

 

Also you're typing in hxxp://www.yourdomain.com/Ryan (hxxp = http) and it's still coming out wrong?

If I do this:

<?php
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'<br>'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
?>

 

I get this:

/album/index.php

/album/ryan

 

 

This is when I use this url:

http://tzfiles.com/album/ryan
