Hi! i have a question. I have always wondered how people do stuff like

http://www.mysite.com/community/users/Joe

and that would pull up a profile for the user joe?

i know how to do somthing like http://www.mysite.com/community/users/?=Joe

does anyone know a good tutorial about this? or can someone give me a brief course on this type of thing?

also how can i make it, when users register, it makes a subdomain for them?

The first url that you gave

http://www.mysite.com/community/users/Joe

shows that Joe is a directory under users while
http://www.mysite.com/community/users/?=Joe

is passing a variable Joe to the index file which probably a server side script that brings up the appropriate information from a database.

I belive what you want is mod_rewrite to rewrite the url

You can problay check google for some explnations
Link1
Link2

I wish I could help more then that but I have never used it myself. But I think I'm gonna try right now

Hi, I am new to programming so please bear with me!

I am trying to get information displayed from a database to be used as a hyperlink to go to that page. i.e.

www.mysite.com/[nickname]

I can get the info to be shown on the page, but I can't get it to become a hyperlink..

www.mysite.com/$p_arr[NickName]

Wondered what code is needed.
Thanks
