Is there a way i could get
http://somesite.com/viewer/someimage.jpg
to be recognised as
http://somesite.com/viewer/?id=someimage.j pg
I know i could rewrite the url with .htaccess but i don't want to change the lettering in the url.
The thing im trying to get at is;
how myspace do: myspace.com/username
but the 'username' isn't an actual directory.
I'm guesing it is read as myspace.com/?user=username
Hmm, anyone?
Thanks.

Hi Markus.
Based on my brief experience with MySpace, I could very well believe that they actually create a directory for each user with a dynamically created index file.
Other than the UrlRewrite thing, I'm not sure how you could do what you are asking.
I'm very interested in seeing if anybody has a solution to this.
A normal mod rewrite rule is what you are looking for. As long as you do not specify the R flag in the rule the user will be unaware of anything happening.
For example something like this will work:- - RewriteEngine on
-
-
RewriteRule ^viewer/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+.jpg)$ /viewer/?id=$1 [L]
-

Thanks man! I had that exact(near enough) same rewrite just i had the [L] bit different!
Thanks again.
And @ atli:
if you go to myspace.com/username/index.php there isn't such a thing. I was told once it's done by virtual hosting? Not sure what that is, but y'know!
Thanks.x

Myspace is built using M$ technology, ASP.Net, so it would probably be more like: - myspace.com/username/Default.aspx
I tried that but it gave me an error. Not 404 tho.

Truth be told, i don't care for MySpace - i was just intriguied by this, and now i may be able to build a networking site. (Not for general public use, just for a project)

Is what i've came up with and t'is working! Thanks.
just 1 thing you have 0-1 in the regexp. You definitely only going to have 0 or 1 in the name?

I'm not all that experienced with all this, but would it not be possible to replace "([a-zA-Z0-1_-]+)" with "(\w+)"?

This text can only be altered by changing the URL of the page.
The normal solution is to use frames, though this can introduce
