need help on redirecting

can any body help me im trying to figure out how you can get a url like http://www.myspace/user

 

via .htaccess - mod rewrite

 

If your file is called http://www.myspace/user.php and you want it to show as http://www.myspace/user

Then you would put this content in a file called .htaccess in your root:

RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^user$ user.php [L]

Code (markup):

You can then access the page through either url.

 

I am not able to understand can u please describe in more precise about where to place this code?

 

Well.... I Can help you all If you want me to Rewrite the URLS Using Htaccess..!
