Another method that wasn't mentioned, which helps take the logic needed to parse parameters in the more 'user-friendly' way is to set up apache to treat a file as a directory so you could have: http://domain.com/user/first.last.html The 'user' is actually a file that is a php script that reads data from $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and parses it as needed. You just need to setup apache using: <Files user> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </Files> and make a php script called user like: <?php var_dump($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])' ?> I prefer this method cause it removes any sort of programming logic from apache, so if I decide, that well, i want to allow just lastname.html, i only have one place to worry about the logic.
