Hi Dan One method for this is to use URL Rewriting (which can be implemented on Apache using htaccess). Through URL Rewriting you can first make the following URL: http://www.website.com/article-clean-url <http://www.website.com/article-clean-url>to internally behave as the following: http://www.website.com/index/user/ <http://www.website.com/index/user/1>1 <http://www.website.com/index/user/1>and then you can use the same getParam method to grab the value and carry out further processing. Hope this helps.
