This approach can work and, properly done, work fairly well. However, a more elegant approach might be using mod_rewrite on Apache. You could write a regex that would convert addresses of the form /~username into /users/homepage.php?User=username internally. This would also have the advantage of leaving your existing 404 handling unchanged. Chris
