removing folders from url

[squiblo]

This is what my directories look like...

htdocs/

    - index.php

    - file.php

    - file2.php

    nav/

          - about.php

          - help.php

          - contact.php

 

I want to put a .htaccess file in the nav folder.

 

Currently if I view a file in the nav folder the url will look like, "http://localhost/nav/about.php" but I want the same content to be shown if the url was "http://localhost/about.php" (without the 'nav/').

 

Thanks

This can't be done with a .htaccess file in the nav folder. The .htaccess file would have to be in the root folder and would have to redirect any request for /something.php to /nav/something.php. This will be quite difficult to manage if it needs to be dynamic, especially if you will have more than just the dav folder.
