mod-rewrite help
Ok so i actually have not started to attempt this yet i just wanted to know if something is possible before i do start.
Im building a profile based system - just a directory full of user profiles. But the URL to their profile would be something like:
domain.com/profile.php?type=1&id=23
type is because i have 2 different types of users and the id is well the actual id of the user.
If i could somehow use php to convert the id into the actual username missing out the profile.php extention???
what i want is something like:
or even better:

Your going to have to modify your php script to accept the user id. Once you do that, it's easy.
ILoveJackDaniels.com's cheat sheet is a nice reference for this.

I am accepting the user id - only the page url also has to specify the page it is loading up.
for instance: domain.com/index.php?action=2&id=4
the action specifies what page or action is taking place - in this case action 2 is a profile page and the id is the users id.
is there a way to rewrite the url so it undertands the action but does not show it, and renames the id to the users username and puts a backslash in front of it like this:
from:
domain.com/index.php?action=2&id=4
to:
domain.com/username
or would it have to be:
domain.com/profile/username
