@NogDogSep 28.2009 — #You would probably use URL rewriting at the web server level (e.g. Apache mod_rewrite module), converting "http://example.com/foobar " to "http://exampe.com/userpage.php?user=foobar ", then userpage.php would use $_GET['user'] to grab the applicable data from the database.@NogDogSep 28.2009 — #Nope, just one that takes whatever is at the end and applies it to the URL query string value. I'm not real good with this stuff, but it might be something like:
This would match on "http://example.com/username " or "http://example.com/username/ " and change it to "http://example.com/user.php?username " (if my code is correct), but note that it would not match if you allowed a "." in user names (in which case more thinking would need to go into this).@NogDogSep 28.2009 — #It would not "know", it would be up to you to ensure that your web page URL naming convention will facilitate this. In the example I provided, I'm assuming there will be no "." in the the user name, and that if there would be either no "/" or only a terminal "/". Therefore a URL like "http://example.com/index.php " or "http://example.com/directory/foo/bar " would not match; only something like "http://example.com/foo " or "http://example.com/bar/ " would match.
user pages
I have a site I am working on that wants to allow users to create their own page, having a url like [url]www.site.com/name
