Random Design Question

This is something that is pretty random.

I want to make links on a web site that don't really exist... and then
allow a custom script to go to a certain page depending on the
structure of the URL in the address bar of the user's browser.

For example, I might have a user on a web site, with a user name called
"Apollo".

I want to create a link to that user's profile (like
http://www.mywebsite.com/Apollo ) without actually creating the Apollo
directory...

I know that I could do something like
http://www.mywebsite.com?user=Apollo

but I want to have something more advanced and easier to write on a
paper advertisement, like the above URL.

Is this something I would have to modify the custom error pages with,
since /Apollo wouldn't exist?

The only way I can think of doing it is programatically creating those
directories when needed... and making an index.php file inside each
directory.

I know this is a random question but I thought I'd throw it out there
and see if anyone can help.
Thanks...
