URI, database and parsing id via link - El Forum - 08-25-2011

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I am trying to make link looking something like this:

Code:
admin/member/FirstnameLastname

and then via segment3 to find user in the db. But problem is that there can be more than one same combination of first and last name. How can I make link to look like this and transfer id of the user so query can be done?
