Simple PHP application to create URL's like <ROOT_URL>/twitter_username

I am making a simple php application which uses twitter to login as shown in the example here at http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/twitter-app-oauth-php/
However, instead of going to a page where the user posts a tweet, I want to redirect the user to a URL /twitter_user_name where he can see his twitter profile information.
Also, this page needs to be publicly viewable at /twitter_user_name as the profile page of the person. I am not sure how I can create URL's like /twitter_user_name.
I am not using any framework as such.

My DB structure for the users table is:

 CREATE TABLE `users` (
    `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `oauth_uid` text,
    `oauth_token` text,
    `oauth_secret` text,
    `is_logged_in` boolean,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

How do I accomplish this without using any framework?

Simple, use mod_rewrite in a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^twitter_(.*)$ twitter_profile.php?username=$1 [L]

twitter_profile.php will be called with GET param (username) as $1

You can learn about mod_rewrite and .htaccess here.
