Another method that wasn't mentioned, which helps take the logic
needed to parse parameters in the more 'user-friendly' way is to
set up apache to treat a file as a directory so you could have:
http://domain.com/user/first.last.html
The 'user' is actually a file that is a php script that reads data
from $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and parses it as needed.
You just need to setup apache using:
<Files user>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
and make a php script called user like:
<?php
var_dump($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])'
?>
I prefer this method cause it removes any sort of programming logic
from apache, so if I decide, that well, i want to allow just
lastname.html, i only have one place to worry about the logic.
