The best way of of doing this is using the CakePHP Router. You can set routes in app/Config/routes.php, for example:

Router::connect(
    '/melbourne-day-tours',
    array('controller' => 'cities', 'action' => 'view', 1)
);

If you are planning having many routes you might be better of using slugs which are stored in your database. There is some information about that in the link above.

can i do it with using htaccess in cake ?

Pádraig Galvin Over a year ago

CakePHP already uses htaccess to rewrite URLs so it's not a good idea.

ya i know but i dont know the specific controller or action names ! i want Quick job - that this shd be redirect to this !

I gave you one example, it's not difficult to adapt it for the other URLs. The "old" URLs you posted are all in the same format: http://example.com/controller/action/id. You should check the manual for more info about working with CakePHP.
