.htaccess redirection question

How can i change URL's like http://www.madridbarca.com/profile.php?user=miccy to http://www.madridbarca.com/miccy/ ?

Thanks

 

If you do that, you will lost the ability to have any other URLs at that domain name (at least without extreme performance penalty). Are you sure it's what you want to do? Normally people use something like http://madridbarca.com/users/miccy/ so they they preserve the ability to have, for example, http://www.madridbarca.com/about

 

I agree with SmallPotatoes, you can do it with a .htaccess file like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	Options +FollowSymlinks
	RewriteEngine on

	#allow linking to existing files
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^.* - [L]
	
	#profile urls
	RewriteRule ^Profile/(.*)$ profile.php?user=$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
