use parse_url output is

scheme - e.g. http

host

port

user

pass

path

query - after the question mark ?

fragment - after the hashmark #

like

$url = 'http://username:password@hostname/path?arg=value#anchor';

print_r(parse_url($url));

output

Array
(
   [scheme] => http
   [host] => hostname
   [user] => username
   [pass] => password
   [path] => /path
   [query] => arg=value
   [fragment] => anchor
)

First, you should use URL rewriting to convert all the virtual addresses into script calls. Like www.mysite.com/username is actually served as www.mysite.com/?name=username. Inside the script, you would simply access the name variable from GET parameters.

There are thousands of tutorials available on the net, this one seems good enough : http://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/
