Hi,

I'm using php on apache with mysql.

I want to let users enter a url into their browser to see a custom user page for themselves, just like twitter does. For example, they could enter urls like:

www.mysite.com/johndoe
www.mysite.com/janedoe

and see that user's page. How could I do this with php and apache? I don't want to create a folder on disk for every user like above, I'd instead kind of like to catch the url and generate the page on the fly for them,

Thanks
