Request URI Match and Redirect to Specific Link htaccess-CodePudding

I'm trying to redirect all root users to a specific link eg: example.com to example.com/en1 which an index.php file, so if any user type example.com/en2 or en3 or en100 will redirect to example.com/en1

I have tried this code

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "en1") == false){
    header('Location: en1');
}

But the problem is, when I type en2 or en100 it shows 404 error not redirecting to en1

Also tried htaccess

RedirectMatch ^/$ /en1
RewriteRule en1 index.php

But no luck!

How do i fix it?

CodePudding user response：

You can use RewriteRules like this :

RewriteEngine On
#redirect / to /en1
RewriteRule ^$ https://example.com/en1 [R,L]
#redirect /en123 to /en1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/en1$
RewriteRule ^en[0-9]  https://example.com/en1 [L,R]

Let me know how it works for you.
