.htaccess help

[The Little Guy]

Why is this the only code I can get to work?

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ profile/profile.php?user=$1 [nc]

 

I don't want my URL formatted like that:

http://mysize.com/user/

 

I want it to format like this:

http://mysize.com/user

 

without the trailing slash at the end

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ profile/profile.php?user=$1 [nc]

 

I have tried the above, but get an Internal Server Error problem.

 

can someone PLEASE help??

RewriteRule ^(.*?user)$ profile/profile.php?user=$1 [nc]
