Is there any way in PHP to get a value from the URL. For example, if I have a folder called user and an index.php inside that folder. Then I navigate to mydomian.com/user/username

Can I get the 'username' value and respond to that with the index.php?

I've looked around and can't seem to find an answer, without using arguments inside the URL.

If you using httpd, and has rewrite turn on, try config your httpd as

rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/user/ [nc]
rewriterule ^/user/(.*)$ /user?username=$1 [r=301,ns]

You can put it into httpd.conf, or put it into some .htaccess file. And in your index.php, using 

$_GET['username']

To get the username. Based on your question, guess you need understand lots of thing before this really works

I make a folder called user, put it a .htaccess of its own with:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?username=$1 [L,QSA]

I then got the value username with:

$_GET['username'];

Now when I navigate to mywebsite.com/user/tom, it will output tom.
