Remove subfolder from url using only php code and not with help of .htaccess

Question

I have php wesite using following url, http://example.com/subfolder/category

Now, i want to remove "subfolder" from url using php, but there can be multiple categories which can come and i dont want to write every category condition in .htaccess file?

Thus it will be like, if someone calls url like http://example.com/category, it will be redirected to file in "subfolder" but "subfolder" wont appear in url like this, {host_name}/category. Can this be done?

Example: {domain}/subfolder/category => {domain}/category

Thus subfolder will be removed.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

can you add more specific examples on how the redirection is intended? — Stoic

Do you have any framework in your case? if there is "routes" will solve your problem. — Eric T

No framework, just smarty templating is used. So cannot use routes. — Arbflow

One way or another, you'll have either to redirect all the traffic to your php (with .htaccess), or configure .htaccess to rewrite the url I think. You could start by reading this: stackoverflow.com/questions/1316040/… — achedeuzot

In the www_root .htaccess, put…

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^subfolder\/(.*) $1

I think that should do it.

I am unable to get this work. I have url like example.com/subfolder/category and need to convert it to example.com/category but it should call the file in subfolder.

Did you change "subfolder" to whatever it is that your subfolder is called?
