Before I go ahead and ask you my question, I understand that there are many methods on the internet to accomplish this sort of thing. I understand also that this process is called rewriting urls. However, since I am not a proffesional at coding, the process of these things seem very daunting and hard to understand. So, I thought I'd ask the StackOverflow community for help!
Here's what I'd like. Currently, I have 2 main files.
index.phpandphp.php.

Could somebody here please guide me and explain in an easy manner to understand, how I would go about doing this? Preferably using PHP! Thanks a lot!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^player/(.*)$ php.php?username=$1 [L,NC]
