RE: [PHP] Best Practice to Create Dynamic URL's- With Username

So one search failed, while to go in the user page I need to digit /user/ before, not a big deal but we are in tinyurl and bit.ly era Google Code put simply a /p/ as prefix plus the project name plus subsection /p/myprojname/ /p/myprojname/wiki since you are starting now, maybe you could consider this semantic alternative, if it suits your requirements.
