RE: I want this magic directory

You'll need to do your log in on the root and then redirect depending on what username they are are logged on as. You can use cookies to set the initial user name value in your log in screen but that's as far as you can go if you want any level of security. once you have a validated username (which you can hold in a session) you can build urls, etc. using it e.g. echo("<a href=$username/nextpage.php>Next Page</a>").
