Look up url rewrites for your web server. If you're still having trouble, modify your question to ask how to do this rewrite for the web server you are using. — Nick Rolando, Jul 31 '13 at 17:42
If you are using Apache (I think: yes), you can create in main folder of your project file `.htaccess` and put their my or @AmalMurali magic lines! And it's end! — Maciej A. Czyzewski, Jul 31 '13 at 17:45

I think this .htaccess rule should do what you want:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ /businesspage.php?profile=$1 [L]

You need to put the following lines into your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule /(.*)$ /businesspage.php?profile=$1

I just created a .htaccess file and put it to my root folder. But nothing happened. – Alex Jul 31 '13 at 17:48
why it's not working, can you please tell me ? – Alex Jul 31 '13 at 17:54
Do you turn on your `mod_rewrite`? – Maciej A. Czyzewski Jul 31 '13 at 17:55
I think No. I just put your code to .htaccess file. – Alex Jul 31 '13 at 17:57
