.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

Try just to change [L] to [P] and I assume it will work.

Answer 2

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]

Answer 3

1- Use [P] instead of [L]

2- Use $s at the end of second line to have a set of urls redirects and remove / at the end of it too.

The code will look like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tour
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [P] 

which treats with more than the index page of the folder tour.
