How to set the web root and hide app.php and app_dev.php in localhost using xampp and apache?

问题

I'm using symfony in my local computer for programming. its address is http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/secure_area.

How can I change this address to http://localhost/secure_area?

I mean removing RTL/web/app_dev.php.

I'm using xampp, apache and symfony 2.6.

other addresses could be something like these:

http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/login    =>     http://localhost/login
http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/logout   =>     http://localhost/logout
http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/admin    =>     http://localhost/admin

Accordingly to the comments.

The RTL/web is removed adding the directive DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/localhost/RTL/web" on your virtual host file in apache.

Then you can hide app.php using these apache mod_rewrite rules:

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$  
RewriteRule ^app\.php(/(.*)|$) %{CONTEXT_PREFIX}/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .? - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]    
RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}app.php [L]

then restart apache server to apply the modifications.
