hide url variables using htaccess

Question

In my application the original file name for "pro" is profile.php and I have used htaccess to write it.

Now I have a URL which looks like this: http://localhost/campuslife/pro?u=mchati.evelyn

for some reasons I want the URL to look like this

http://localhost/campuslife/pro/mchati.evelyn

Please how do i achieve this?

what I tried :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pro$ profile.php [L]

Inside /campuslife/.htaccess you can use this rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^pro$ profile.php [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^pro/([^/]+)/?$ profile.php?u=$1 [L,NC,QSA]

Not working for me...when I tried it all my css files, js files and img cannot load and it make my page scattered.

For css/js/images problem is not this rule but your use of relative paths. To fix you can add this just below <head> section of your page's HTML: <base href="/" />
