Hello
I need to replace this exact url string :
/usr/userinfo.php?user=foo
by
/foo
I understand i need to do this with .htacess. But I have not been able to do that with google ssearches on the topic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

You want to use mod_rewrite.
Just off the top of my head, it'll be something like this:
[syntax]RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^foo$ usr/userinfo.php?user=foo[/syntax]
Now that you know, you should be able to Google for the right stuff - you are far from the first person to have questions about mod_rewrite, so there is tons of info out there.

thanks for answering.
There are plenty of answers available in google search. The issue is the term foo is to be replaced by a regex and none of the regex stuff seems to be working on my localhost
thanks anyways

Check that you actually have mod_rewrite installed.
