Remove directory from url htaccess apache

Question

I have website where all the files were in the public_html root so my urls were http://foo.com/index.php

I have moved all my files into a bar directory so now the url is: http://foo.com/bar/index.php however I would like to rewrite the URLs so that the the directory bar is not shown in the urls and the site still appears as http://foo.com/index.php. What is the best way of achieving this? I have LAMP hosting and can change htaccess files.

Thanks in advance.

Put this code in your .htaccess under public_html:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^((?!bar/).*)$ bar/$1 [NC,L]

Then you can access your website as http://foo.com/index.php
