.htaccess call PHP file with parameters

Question

Sorry if the title of the question is not clear, please read below for details;

I have this .htaccess:

Options -Multiviews

RewriteEngine On    
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ user.php?user=$1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/home/.*$ index.php [QSA]

One of its functions is to redirect the url from this example:

www.example.com/user.php?user=david

to be:

www.example.com/david

Now, I have a file friends.php which function is to show friends of a particular user.
So the link that I wanted is like this:

www.example.com/david/friends

How can I achieve this?

What should www.example.com/david/friends be rewritten to? — anubhava

You have to basically do the same as you did for user. In fact, the rule does not even conflict, because the user rule cannot contain a / character.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/friends$ friends.php?user=$1 [L]
