title: Php site structure
body: <p>I'm currently in the process of setting my website, largely with php. Though this is my first time using it so I'm running into some problems.</p>
  
  <p>I've got the basics of the site down. Registering, login-in, profile page e.t.c. However this is where I seem to have to make a decision about the site layout.</p>
  
  <p>For instance. Currently a user's profile page has the URL of </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysite.com/profile.php</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Ideally what I would like is for it to be is something along the lines of </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysite.com/user/ChrisSalij</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>From reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/115629/simplest-php-routing-framework" >this</a> among other things I believe I need a Front Controller style site, though I'm not sure of this, nor where to start with implementing one.</p>
  
  <p>Bearing in mind that I'm pretty new to php and the like, I would appreciate any helpful comments, and links, and constructive critiques. </p>
  
  <p>I'm defiantly will to learn so links to articles and explanations would be excellent. I usually do a fair amount of research  on stuff like this. But I'm so new to it that I don't know where to start.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I should also add that I'm planning on scaling this website up to the large scale. It's small to start with but there should be quite a few pages if my goals work out. So I'm willing to put the effort in now to get it set up right for the long term.
  Thanks</p>
