I am trying to rewrite http://abc.com/sub/random.php to http://abc.com/random.
I have tried

RewriteRule ^random$ sub/random.php [QSA,L]

But it does not work for some reason.

    It doesn’t make much sense to show the “ugly” URL with the resource in the browser’s address bar: http://abc.com/sub/random.php, while hiding the “pretty” URL http://abc.com/random. So, I assumed you want the opposite of what you asked.

    If that is correct, you may try this:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/([^/]+)/?$    [NC]
RewriteRule .* sub/%1.php  [L,QSA]

    It will map silently this:

    http://abc.com/random

    To this:

    http://abc.com/sub/random.php

    Where random is not a fixed string but a variable that is passed as the name of the script.
