I am accepting the user id - only the page url also has to specify the page it is loading up.

for instance: domain.com/index.php?action=2&id=4

the action specifies what page or action is taking place - in this case action 2 is a profile page and the id is the users id.

is there a way to rewrite the url so it undertands the action but does not show it, and renames the id to the users username and puts a backslash in front of it like this:

from:

domain.com/index.php?action=2&id=4

to:

domain.com/username

or would it have to be:

domain.com/profile/username

Your going to have to modify your php script to accept the user id. Once you do that, it's easy.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_\-]+)/ $path/to/script.php?user=$1 [L]

ILoveJackDaniels.com's cheat sheet is a nice reference for this.
