How to give personal user url on a dating website just like MySpace does?

Hello everyone,

I had posted a question regarding how to design high traffic fast
dating website on different PHP groups. I got a lot of useful
responses. I have added links to all the posts below for reference.

I am back with another question regarding the dating website. How do I
go about creating personal user url on the site like it is done on
MySpace.com

The personal url for user1 will look like www.myWebSite.com/user1

The first solution I know is to create a folder for each user and put a
index.php script that show the user profile. But then there would be a
lot of folders. how can I catch the user1 from the url request string
www.myWebSite.com/user1
The ssecond solution would be to set the page not found script in
Apache. But then again I need to capture the 'user1' from the request
string.

I appreciate your help and welcome any suggestions.

Thank you.
