Hide redirected domain

[MOP]

I am using this code to redirect to different pages in my domain.
<a href=&quot;

http://www.mydom.com/redirect.php?url=1

redirect.php looks like this:
<?
switch($url){
case '1': $links = &quot;

http://www.mydom.com/page1.html&quot;;break;

case '2': $links = &quot;

http://www.mydom.com/page2.html&quot;;break;

}
header (&quot;Location: $links&quot;
exit;
?>
My query is, can I have the address bar after redirection show only &quot;

http://www.mydom.com&quot;

instead of &quot;

http://www.mydom.com/page1.html&quot;.

I wish to avoid the use of frames.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I now is that impossible without frames. Only a real re-direct (suplied by your host) can arrange that.

It depends on your webhost.

1. Is it an Apache server?
2. if so: Is mode_rewrite installed?
3. If yes you can use a .htaccess file to rewrite the URL.

Yes to 1 and 2.
Got any tips on the syntax for .htaccess file?

Yes, there is good and extensive documentation for the 'swiss army knife for URL manipulation':
