Question

I need to rewrite my web URL such as

http://www.site.com/profile/ -> profile.php
http://www.site.com/settings/ -> settings.php

and another word of profile and settinhs is link to user.php

example,

if I push http://www.site.com/giffary/ – it’s link to user.php?name=giffary

but when i push http://www.site.com/profile/ – it’s link to profile.php not user.php.

how can i write .htaccess file

You will need to use mod_rewrite for this, obviously. I have not tested it, but this config should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Ignore URLs that point to files/directories that actually exist.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Special rewrites
RewriteRule ^/profile/?$ /profile.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/settings/?$ /settings.php [L]

# User profile rewrites
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/?$ /user.php?name=$1 [L]
