Hitendra,

Most of the work required for what you want to do is going to be in PHP detecting that the username exists and displaying the right page. As I’m not familiar with your site code I can’t really offer you much in that regard.

One suggestion I will make though is that you use some kind of prefix to the username so you can detect it is a username in your rewrite rules. Otherwise you will end up rewriting every URL just to check if it is a username.

For example I would use something like:

http://www.mysite.com/profile/{username}

instead of:

http://www.mysite.com/{username}
