RewriteRule to Hide Directory Name from URL

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could please help me with this rewrite rule below.

I want to make the following rewrite:

domain.com/city/FL/Miami.html

to

domain.com/FL/Miami.html

I am really just trying to hide the "city" in the url. Thanks!

 

Well, basically you can do something like this for that specific state/city:

RewriteRule ^FL/Miami.html$ /city/FL/Miami.html [L]

Code (markup):

Or something that would cover all the cities in FL state:

RewriteRule ^FL/([^/]+).html$ /city/FL/$1.html [L]

Code (markup):

So the full rewrite code would be:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^FL/([^/]+).html$ /city/FL/$1.html [L]

Code (markup):

Put it in your .htaccess file in your main/root html folder.
