Title says it all im having trouble rewriting the following urls

The original URL: example.com/user.php?id=username

The rewritten URL: example.com/username

My .htcacess code is:

RewriteEngine On

The rewrite engine will loop, which means the rewritten URI (/user.php) matches the same pattern and gets applied again. Try adding some conditions:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /user.php?id=$1 [L]
