.htaccess help

[z_crow]

I am having trouble coming up with the .htaccess entries to do the following:

 

the current url looks like this  http://www.domainname.com/provincial/bc/filename.php but I want it to look like this: http://www.domainname.com/filename.php

 

Basically, no matter what the filename is, I want the "/provincial/bc/" hidden from the url.

 

Thanks for any help.

With mod_rewrite:

 

RewriteRule  http://www.domainname.com/provincial/bc/filename.php http://www.domainname.com/filename.php [R,NC,L]

 

Try that and see if that works.

But add the dynamic part and remove the Redirect flag:

 

RewriteRule  http://www.domainname.com/provincial/bc/(.*) http://www.domainname.com/$1 [NC,L]

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate that. Still can't get it to work though but that might be because of other things in the .htaccess file.

Sorry, I think this may be better:

 

RewriteRule ^/provincial/bc/(.*)$ /$1 [NC,L]

 

or if that doesn't work, try:

 

RewriteRule ^provincial/bc/(.*)$ /$1 [NC,L]

 

I am curious about which solution works.
