Using PHP, how can you make a dynamic folder system, like http://website.com/user/UsernameHere/ show something like http://website.com/user.php?name=UsernameHere
Does this require server configuration, or is it possible with PHP?
Typically this will rely on some amount of URL-rewriting support from the web server, for instance, some mod_rewrite rule under apache.
Whether or not it’s a bunch of complicated rewrite rules, or just a simple one that rewrites everything to /index.php (and let’s index.php parse and interpret the URI), doesn’t matter.
But you’ll need some amount of web server configuration to get it going.
