is it possible to create a rewrite rule so that if
http://www.host.com/imr/user?=user
can actually be http://www.host.com/user ?

Really need help understanding these rules

Thanks,
Arachn1d

try
[PHP]
if($_GET['user'])
{
header("Location: http://www.host.com/user");
}
[/PHP]

or if you want user in the url to be the user variable, you can use

[PHP]
if($_GET['user'])
{
header("Location: http://www.host.com/$_GET['user']");
}
[/PHP]

You can also do it using Apache's mod_rewrite although I can't give you exact code because the on time I tried to understand it I didn't get it.

add a basic .htaccess to your web directory containing the following:

(Toggle Plain Text)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /imr/user?user=$1 [L,QSA]
