PHP website advice

    Right so I'm building a website using php, and am looking for some tips.

    The site will be based on members looking at other members profiles and having some kind of messaging system so they can contact them.

    A mySQL database will hold each members information and pictures.

    How would I go about having each member have an easy to remember url, i.e. www.mysite.com/member1

    So that when that kind of url is entered, it will load a generic profile page but that users details from the database will be inserted into it. If that makes any sense.

    Also sometimes you will see a site www.mysite.com/category/blah.html

    Now if you have all your pages in one directory it will and you open the page blah.html, it will be www.mysite.com/blah.html

    Is it a case of just making a subfolder category, and putting blah.html in that?
