    How do I get my site

    example.com

    so that when I go to example.com/Josh

    it shows

    example.com/profile.php?user=Josh

    Thanks.

    Create a .htaccess file with this in it:

    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
    Code (markup):

    My bad but can I actually have it so its example.com/user/Josh instead of example.com/Josh as that messes up all of my files.

    Sorry.

    If profile.php is in the root directory then it would be:

    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
    Code (markup):
    or if profile.php was in the directory "user" then it'd be

    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/(.*)$ user/profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
    Code (markup):
