[Princess$]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-F
RewriteRule ^([-_!*$@~:.a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ http://mydomain.org/profile.php?username=$1

it says i need to » Add the code into your .htaccess file

but wont that cause errors if i open .htaccess in a document and add it?

there was a way in cpanel but i forgot.

I can not edit the post so i'll add the problem:

i install Joovili, and create a user account.

the website shows the new user and points to www.mydomain.org/princess/ or www.mydomain.org/wateva

i click the lnik and it takes you to page not displayed, i do not know if this is because of the rewrite needed but any help?

but profile.php?username=princess does?

if u have not got a clue how do i change it so that all profiles point to profile.php?username=$id

The rewrite is needed to have a /username directory. The only problem is, it thinks register.php is a user

How do i do the rewrite and make it work?

 RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) profile.php?username=$1

That should work, just add in the symbols you want usernames to allow into the brackets.

How do i write it into the system so it's done:|

cPanel > File Manager (Click show hidden files) > public_html or www (Same place) then look for a file called ".htaccess" then add it in there

Open Dreamweaver or whatever you use to code. Copy and paste the copy input a blank page. Then save as ".htaccess" with no extensions and so on. Then upload to your site's directory.

either one of those would work, but i think Jack's idea would be much much easier.
