I have my php file on the server at:

blahblah.com/xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/test.php

I want the physical file there but I want a pointer in a different directory for:

blahblah.com/test.php

If someone uses either link, I want it to open the same php file. I tried a simple shortcut in my file, but that didn't work. I obviously do not want to maintain two copies of my program...

have apache redirect it. or whatever software you're using to manage it.

Can you create a link on the filesystem to redirect to that location?

e.g. if SERVER_ROOT is /srv/www and the actual filepath is /srv/www/xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/test.php, something like this should do the trick:

ln -s /srv/www/xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/test.php /srv/www/test.php

put this in the .htaccess file in blahblah.com's document root



This will rewrite any files in /xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/

http://blahblah.com/xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/index.php -> http://blahblah.com/index.php

http://blahblah.com/xandumx/Programming/ApplicationA/test.php -> http://blahblah.com/test.php

etc...
