Is there a possibility. Change the link like this:
www.example.com/user?u=Username to => www.example.com/user/Username
But still with PHP to recognize by which user it is. Best without extra pages to create?

Look like htaccess, you should go check them, look for Url rewriting ! – kaldoran Mar 09 '17 at 14:18

First of all, you need to rewrite URL from htaccess. Then from your expected URL, You can extract the last part by using explode("/", $url). you can have the username for use. – Shaharia Azam Mar 09 '17 at 14:21

As I commented above you should use Url rewriting :
For exemple put this in the root of your website under the name .htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions Inherit
RewriteRule ^/?user/([A-Za-z]+)$ user.php?u=$1 [L]

Then please mark the question as solved by my answer.By the way, the "?" before the "/" mean that the "/" is optional :) – kaldoran Mar 09 '17 at 14:47

Done! Thx a Lot kaldoran and the rest! Little hint: If you have Relative Paths you have to add a ../ Because the file now thinks it is in the orderner user – Mar 09 '17 at 14:51

Thanks for your help all together. This has worked:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?user/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ user.php?u=$1
Little hint: If you have Relative Paths you have to add a ../ Because the file now thinks it is in the folder user
