I am trying map all wildcards for a directory /a/* onto on file article.php using AliasMatch ^/a/(.*) /article.php but without redirecting (I want to keep the url looking the same). But I am getting a The requested URL was not found on this server. error.
Is AliasMatch even the right way to do this? Or is there a better way.
I am trying to achieve something like:
example.com/a/hello example.com/a/this-is-an-article article.php
echo basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; result:
hello this-is-an-article 000-default.conf
