How to navigate to a non-existent link to an existing page?

Question

URL Handling

Hello! I have a site on the DLE engine.
It generates such page addresses - http://yoursite.com/id-имя новости.html
As I understand it , id from the address is difficult to remove and bugs are possible.

I will have a page where there will be links of this type - http://yoursite.com/имя новости.html
I need them to automatically go to an existing page http://yoursite.com/id-имя новости.html

. the address of the existing page is obviously not known, only part of it is the name of the news.html

Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, you need to develop a script that will do the substitution 'news name -> id' and set up address mapping on the web server using RewriteRule
ps what will you do if the news has the heading: 100-dalmantines
