.htaccess and GET

When I use this in my .htaccess file:

[CODE]Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?user=$1 [nc][/CODE]

and I echo out user like this:

[code=php]echo $_GET[‘user’];[/code]

The following result is placed on the page:
[B]index.php[/B]

here is dir structure:

[code]
+root
|
+– album
| |
| +– .htaccess
| |
| +– index.php
|
+– index.php.
[/code]

I am trying to access the index.php page inside the [B]album[/B] dir

Also in #PHP _↴
