Edit your .htacces and add this under any code that's there:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^members/([^/]+)/?$ /members.php?user=$1 [L]

RewriteEngine on // This turns on the rewrite engine, allowing us to make a rewrite rule.
RewriteRule ^members/([^/]+)/?$ /members.php?user=$1 [L] // This just turns members.php?user=x into members/x. I'd explain more if I wasn't on my iPod and knew more about it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^members/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ members.php?user=$1 [L]

That's better code than box's. That doesn't allow special characters if I'm correct.

I would love to explain the depth of the rewrite module but the truth is google can do a hell of alot better.
