here is what I need. I have the url pearlsquirrel.com/profilecomments.php?u=eggo.
eggo being my username and the part of the dynamic url that changes. I would like to rewrite the url to say pearlsquirrel.com/eggo/comments, using .htaccess.

Here is what I have so far:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ profilecomments.php?u=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ profilecomments.php?u=$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.pearlsquirrel\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://pearlsquirrel.com/$1/comments [L,R=301]

but I just can not get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/comments$ profilecomments.php?u=$1 [L]

    NOTE

    If you’ve used relative paths for your images, stylesheets etc. you need to change those into absolute paths or relative paths using the servers root folder as base in order to get your site to display properly.

    For example, it will think that images/image.png is /eggo/comments/images/image.png

    But, if you instead add a preceding slash /images/image.png your file paths will always start from the servers root folder and your site won’t get messed up when you’re rewriting your URL’s.
