creating nice looking URLs

I am trying to make a friendly looking URLs for my ugly URLs.

mod directory contains an index.php and a user.php file. The index.php only has some links, of various formats, to the user page.

path to mod directory like this : http://localhost/mod/

at this time user's urls something like this..

http://localhost/mod/user.php?id=Ricky etc..

I need to make that ugly one to nice looking one something like this..

http://localhost/mod/user/Ricky

I tried it in my htaccess file, and this is code so far in that file.

# Enable Rewriting
RewriteEngine on

# Rewrite user URLs
#   Input:  user/NAME/
#   Output: user.php?id=NAME
RewriteRule ^user/([a-z]+)/?$ user.php?id=$1

This is not working for me. Hope someone will help me. Thank you.

RewriteRule ^user/([A-Za-z]+)/?$ user.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

State end of line and case insensitive with [NC,L]

You can also just use \w to match all text chars (non digit)

RewriteRule ^user/(\w+)/?$ user.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

Here's a cheat sheet for regex: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html
