How to set an index page in a subfolder

I have the following file / folder structure for my site:

index.php 
games.php 
/category-games 
/category-games/game-1.php 
/category-games/game-2.php

The file games.php

is assumed to be the home page of the category /category-games/

. Is there a way to show this page when someone visits mysite.com/category-games/

? I tried to put the page in a folder and named it index.php but I think it doesn't work.

You probably need to do this via .htaccess. Can anyone help me? Right now, if anyone tries to access it mysite.com/category-games/

, it will go straight to 404.

Hooray!

Case 1: If it /category-games/

doesn't have .htaccess, then set this rule to root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^category-games/$ games.php [L,NC]


Case 2: If /category-games/

there is .htaccess inside , then use this rule

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/?$ /games.php [L]

Try creating a new page called index.html in the / category-games / category with the following content:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://yoursite.com/category-games/games.php">

This will make index.html load by default, but will instantly redirect to games.php. 1 is the time to wait before redirecting. 1 is best, so it doesn't overload your browser.



Toodles!

Well, if you are thinking about organization and systematic coding, I would like to suggest that you use the PHP Routing library. There are many ready-made routing mate classes. If you want to use this, it will certainly help you keep your code more organized.

For example, if you want to access mysite.com/category-games/

, behind the scenes, routing will bring up your corresponding page.

The following code will try to access the mysite.com/category-games folder, but it will output your-page.php file where the user can only see the url mysite.com/category-games, nothing else.

 $router->any('/category-games', function(){
    return 'your-page.php';
});

Not cool?

Hope it helps you to make your project. TQ
