How to make URL with missing folders in mod_rewrite?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

For example, a person comes to a site where he clicks the site.ru/hellokitty link , this should direct him to the site.ru/mydir folder , which is unknown, so the link in the browser should still be displayed as site.ru/hellokitty . If you do this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} hellokitty
RewriteRule ^hellokitty$ /mydir

then a simple redirect will happen, and the line in the browser will change to site.ru/mydir . Is it even possible to hide a directory without resorting to PHP features?

Answer 1
