PHP / .htaccess - Redirect to specific folder

Question

I am creating a PHP project, and the folder structure looks something like:

includes/ 
pages/
config/

In theory, all of the pages will go into the pages folder. But, whenever someone visits the website, on a specific page: (i.e.) www.mysite.com/help I want it to look inside the pages/ folder, rather than thinking it is on the root of the document.

Can I achieve this using PHP / .htaccess - I have googled this problem and cannot see any relevant infomation

You can use the following rule in /root/.htaccess :

RewriteEngine on

#if "/document_root/pages/foo" is an existent file
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1 -f
#rewrite /foo to /pages/foo
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/$1 [NC,L]

Apache supports URL rewriting as explained here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
