Answer 1

Use .htaccess, a realy simple ussage could be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^./(.*)/$ index.php?username=$1 [L] 

Than if the person will type http://www.example.com/nobody/ the $_GET['username'] will be filled with nobody
