I'm not very good with rewrites or regex's. Can anyone please tell me how to setup a rewrite so that when someone on my site goes to

mysite.com/users/USERNAME

they are redirected to something like

mysite.com/users/setUser.php?user=USERNAME

thanks

David

Try something like that. It should also make it redirect to user/username/ if they only put in user/username.

Ok, so I have one more for you. I'm trying to set so that when someone goes to *virtualhost*.mysite.com, it redirects them to mysite.com/browse/*virtualhost*

this is what I've got so far, but it's not working:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*).mysite.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://mysite.com/browse/$1


Thanks again for helping me with the last one, it worked great.

David

your use of * is confusing me as to what you're actually trying to do

Thanks David. I checked that site out but it's still really confusing to me. I would like to make it so that when somebody goes to virtualhost.mysite.com they are redirected to mysite.com/browse?dir=virtualhost.

I hope that's a little clearer, it's 3:13 a.m. where I'm at and my brain is a little bit fried right now trying to work on this thing.

Thanks again for all your help
