Handle Any Requested Sub Directory

[jon3k]

Anyone know of any way to handle any request for a sub directory. For example, lets say I wanted to use a simple url like:

www.domain.com/users/name

But, I don't want to manage a user directory, I really just want a script, where I can pull the name from the requested URL, process it, and generate a page based on it.

Anyone know of any examples on how to handle this?

Not life threatening or anything, just curious.

That would need to be handled by the web server: it's the web server's job to work out which script to run based on the supplied URL. If you're using Apache, it has the mod_rewrite and mod_alias modules (search these forums and Apache's web site for examples)

I am in fact using apache, and their documentation seems very thorough.

Thanks for the response, looks like exactly what I need!
