hi

does anybody know how the myspace 'create your own url' system works? the only way that i can think that it's possible is by creating a folder named inline with a user's chosen extension on the server, and directing a browser to an index file inside that particular folder everytime the extension is typed into a browser. surely this isnt the case... is it? the result would be a root
directory containing millions of folders.

thoughts welcome

Search for "url rewritting" on google.
It's a method to translate the typed url to another one.

Usually, you have infos that are extracted from the url the user has typed, and passed to a script that will generate the page according to those infos.
