Question

I have a PHP url shortener script that redirects the user from a URL such as http://domain.com/go.php?url=5DIGITID but I want it to instead be a URL like the following; http://domain.com/5DIGITID

There are no other directories or folders in the domain.

How can I make my .htaccess files call go.php?url=ID?

Have a look at URL Rewriting for Beginners.

Once you’ve done that, try:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ go.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
