Question

Is it possible to write a htaccess file which will take a URL

/some-new-name and direct to the actual page /file-name.php

All the content is created in the page /file-name.php but I want the user to type /some-new-name and be taken to that page

Also is it possible to force the /some-new-name to display if a user was to click /file-name.php

Answer 1

You can use following code to do that:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# external redirect from file-name.php to /some-new-name
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\sfile-name\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ some-new-name [R=301,L,NC]

# internal redirect from /some-new-name to file-name.php
RewriteRule ^some-new-name$ file-name.php [L,NC]
