* Demo for URL Redirect
* Use: You can create vertual url say with Username
http://www.web.com/username/mail
http://www.web.com/username/profile?view=full
where username can be anything and decide on runtime
* .htaccess file needed
* Example: http://web.com/rewuested/vertual/path?g1=v1&g2=v2
* You get all info in _GET as
$_GET = array ( '_req_path_' => '/rewuested/vertual/path',
'g1' => 'v1',
'g2' => 'v2', )
*
* Note: To run .htaccess you need to modify apache httpd.con file ,
* on linux it is generaly at /usr/local/apache/httpd.conf
