Well ,I wonder how you are creating ur social network if U cant do this simple task..By the way,do it this way

<?php
//lets say this is ur link to get user's nickname
//http://adrazz.net/user_profile.php?id=10 This is our link
//so lets get the username with the link

if(!empty($_GET['id'])){
//lets do few clean up.note its basic add more filtering

$user_id=htmlentities($_GET['id']);
$user_id=mysql_real_escape_string($user_id);

//now lets query from the database

$query_user=mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE id='$user_id';")or die(mysql_error());

$user_data=mysql_fetch_array($query_user);

//our user name
$username=$_user_data['username'];
}

And we are done..Note,U have to add more stuff cos this is basic...

You obviously didn't understand my question which explains why you call it a simple task any way thanks for your effort

u need to work around that also you can't have any other action or other page in one header.

but if you work around

$? = $_GET["?"];
$?(.*) = $_GET['?(.*)'];

wild Card (.*)

Make sure you clean up with html chapters

truthfully using modrewrite to make site.com/username and witout scorn i rilly dnt fink ur ready to undergo a project like dat, u'll regret the amount of holes u'll have like lava. If u really wana start sumtin huge like dat use a framework, half d jobs dun plus its optimized and unit tested. U mite argue u want sumtin dats 100% urs, bt if u dnt get it rite, trust me u wil regret it.
