Hi List,
I am trying to allow dynamic URL's for my users to remember similiar to:
www.mysite.com/joesoap
So I want to use "joesoap" in a PHP script to pick up the user's details
from a MySQL database. If the "joesoap" does not exist in the table
I will handle that.
So basically I have one file www.mysite.com/index.php which should do
all the processing.
I have tried with the apache .htaccess mod_rewrite, however when I echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] I can't detect the "joesoap". It returns /index.php.
Of course the easiest way is to do something like
www.mysite.com/index.php?username=joesoap
but that is too long and complicated for our users. As we have thousands
of users, I don't want to create actual directories.
Furthermore can this be done too (without a joesoap file):
www.mysite.com/joesoap?show_extra_details=yes
Any advice/links would be much appreciated. If I am barking up the wrong
tree throw me a bone please.
Thanks alot
Terence
