mod_rewrite

Ok so im wicked confused. Can some one please explain how to make it so that when a user types:

www.myurl.com/THEIRUSERNAME it will show
www.myurl.com/profile.php?id=THEIRUSERNAME

thank you for all your help in advanced.:thumbsup:

Teeheeeheee


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)/*$ profile.php?id=$1 [QSA,NC]


Put that in a file called .htaccess (if it's not there just create it) and put it in your root

ok, this is very helpful. hahah i do php but the modrewrite confuses me. thanks a lot for your help.
