make example.com/user/Bob go to profile.php?user=Bob

Question

My current http access file is

# Pound sign comments a line out

# Disallow viewing of htaccess files
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# enable hiding php extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

Right now it just hides the .php, i still want to hide the .php but allow website/user/Username

Here you go:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/(.*) profile.php?user=$1 [L]

What exactly do you mean by "not working". Are you getting an error? What kind of error? I copied your .htaccess file above and added the RewriteRule I posted to the end of it, and it works for me.

Can you check your apache error log? That should provide more details. Sounds like you're on Ubuntu, so it's probably in /var/log/apache2/error.log.
