Providing users with static URLs on a site

Post by taldos »

What i want to do is provide my users with the ability to enter their usernames at the end of the site address.

ie: http://www.mysite.com/username

I assume this is something that I need to set up on the server. Can anyone give me a hint as to what this is is called so I can do a proper search on it.

At this stage for a user to view his/her page one has to enter http://www.mysite.com/username.php?id=xxx

Where 'xxx' is the user id.

Thx

mod_rewrite. We've had a small number of threads on it.
