I want to create a dynamic URL using .htaccess file. I designed a website, its URL is: 

localhost/social_adv/

I want to create a dynamic URL like below, where the user is dynamically fetched from the database: 

localhost/social_adv/user

Here's my rewrite rule: 

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteRule ^custom woddev/user [NC,L]

I assume user is a placeholder and needs to be dynamically set. Try this: 

Options +FollowSymLinks

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule ^social_adv/(.*)$ /woddev/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

It will match any social_adv/USER request (where USER is a placeholder) and maps it to woddev/USER under the hood. For example, this URL: 

localhost/social_adv/shiva

Will be mapped to: 

localhost/woddev/shiva

Your code is absolutely correct sir, i think my project is not supported. My controller is not execute after including your code, the error is page not found
What you get when you hit the woddev/whatever-here in your browser? Does the CodeIgniter app reside in woddev/ or social_adv? Or both?
worked for me. This is simpler than most other answers in other pages.
