tpennetta Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hello Everybody, I tried looking this up on the internet but do not think I am using the correct terminology for this problem. I am making blog-like system where new users that register can view their blogs by going to an address similar to: http://www.website.com/username Where username will change depending on the individual's username. I believe this has not only to do with PHP but with server setup (virtual directories or something) but i just wasnt sure. I am using Apache 2 web server if that is necessary to know in order to solve problem. Also I am using PHP5. Any help on this topic is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

atlanta Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 you will need to create a .htaccess file on your server in the web root Like this. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ blog.php?username=$1 [L] with blog.php?username= changed to your Environment settings I coded the above as if the users are only allowed to use a alphanumeric username. Let me know if you need it to include symbols also. with blog.php?username= changed to your Environment settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
