This question already has an answer here:
I am developing an website in which, there is registration of users, users can make there profile and lots of stuff like any social networking website.
Now i have made such a thing from scratch that when i or anyone (loggedin as user,having a profile),clicks link to profile of other(i.e friends),a link is set up to such a thing,i.e
www.Highvay.com?users.php?PID=23 (means when i open any accounts of my friend or someone else,i usually have above address in my address bar)
usually i use get variable PID in users.php and then fetch information of that account holder.
$PID=$_GET("PID");
// now do all stuff with databse
Now what i want is whenever an account opens, one should see www.Highvay.com/mukur
mukur is username
For this i tried , changing URL by HTML5's push, but it only changes the url. Means if i enter "www.Highvay.com/mukur" in address bar manually, page is redirected to elsewhere...
how to implement such a thing ...much like facebook (www.facebook.com/mukur.puri) and twitter (www.twitter.com@7mukur7)
</div>
