Hey,

the way I did profiles on my site is like index.php?id=member&user=Username

well now there is a problem...when the user has a space in their name, it messes up the url with the %20 like index.php?id=member&user=User%20Name

I think this would involve mod_rewrite or something like that, but how would I go about keeping it like so: index.php?id=member&user=User Name
its not the biggest deal, but for some it may be hard to read the username in the url bar...

most sites keep it as an underslash for a name like chris_rudd, users will be used to something like this.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule bin/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ /folderinroot/$3?id=$1&user=$2

I used it so href="bin/value1/value2/page.php" was a valid link. page.php must exist where you specified in your .htaccess file. change or delete 'folderinroot/'

The first instance of $ is end match string. Match string starts at 'bin/'.
The symbol $ denotes start and the numeral specifies which group of brackets of the rewritten url.

The leftmost group is $1. The (.*) sequence means match any charactor, there are other ways to more selectively choose which charactors to match. Any charactor that appears outside of of the bracket is a literal match.

You also might notice that you need to use

PHP Code:

$url=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] followed by 
explode("/",$url)

"SELECT * FROM * WHERE id=$url(1) AND user=$url(2)" 


RewriteRule /(.*) (.*)/$ /$1_$2/

If mod-rewrite is capable of 'matching' a blank space that would replace it with a '_'
