filename as variable

[pablodelapena]

I ahve finally managed tog et mod_rewrite working on ym server...

however I have very little idea as to the syntax of the function!!

Is it possible to have a filename as a variable? ie:

whena user types in ~/XML/pablo.xml

mod_rewrites it as ~/XML/loadXML.php?user=pablo

basically trating the filename before the extension as the variable? while loadXML.php looks up the database and returns all that suer's data in XML form?

Currently i sue the following system, but I feel it iant very dynamic or efficient

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule pablo.xml test.php?user=pablo
RewriteRule nick.xml test.php?user=nick

and so forth for each user.
