A:
You could make it like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ myprofile.php?profile=$1 [NC]
After that, you can use your urls like this http://example.com/Pranav dave. The only problem is, that the browser will rewrite the url, and after that, its looking like followink one http://example.com/Pranav%20dave

And what about redirecting any html file to php?

I'm not sure what you thinking about, but if you have an html file that you want to redirect, you can use for eg. javascript (`window.location = "target.php";`). But there are many ways to solve this problem. Another example with mod_rewrite: tell apache to handle html files, like php files (like this: `AddType application/x-httpd-php .html`) and so on.
