The Underscore Archives

   Having had a quick glance at mod user_dir, isn't that only for  
showing the html folders of existing user on the server rather than  
redirecting a parameter to a php script?  By all means correct me if  
I'm wrong.

   Might be an idea do it by checking if the parameter after the  
domain exists as a file or directory in a RewriteCond (using the -f  
and -d flags) and if it doesn't, then redirect that parameter to the  
user php script.
