.htaccess: Redirect without changing url

Question

I would like to have a URL be redirected to a different page on the same domain but without the browser changing the URL. So the page www.mydomain.co.uk/tour/ s

Answer 1

Because you provide a full URL in your rewrite rule it is automatically treated as a redirection. Replace the full URL with just a slash and it should work, i.e.:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tour
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [P] 

You can even shorten it down to:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?tour.* / [P]
