i use this code but it doesn't work ..

Help Please , THX

 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule user/(.*)/$ /user.php?u=$1

 

I think you have to make the URL with slash in the end:

http://www.site.com/user/someone/

Code (markup):

Then rule will be the following:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^user/(.*?)/$ /user.php?u=$1

Code (markup):

 

thanks brothers ,, i didn't worked but i found a solution ..
make a new folder and name it "user" then put the file and the htaccess

 

I'm also having a problem with mod rewrite.

Old url is:
http://www.site.com/graphics/free-glitter-graphics/get_images.php?dir_images=Baby

New url should be:
http://www.site.com/graphics/free-glitter-graphics/Baby.html

I'd appreciate any help.

 

Mab, I don't suggest you do it that way. Keep user.php in the main directory. In the .htaccess file, it should have the following rule:

RewriteRule ^user/([^\/].*)/?$ user.php?u=$1 [L]

Code (markup):
