How to change url without redirection?

Question

I am facing rewrite url issue.

Current website url :

testwebsite.com/dev/films.php?id=test

I want :

testwebsite.com/dev/test

I tried too many htaccess changes but it is not working.

I think below it must work

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^dev/([0-9]+)-([a-z]+)/ http://testwebsite.com/dev/films.php?id=$1 [NC]

unfortunately, i got 404 page not found.

When i removed htaccess and tried

testwebsite.com/dev/films/test

it is working. I dont have c panel access. Is there server side redirection?

I dont know what is the issue? How do i solved

You have to make sure that mod_rewrite is working on your Apache server. You can also redirect using a server-side code by sending header information to the browser before you send any HTML For example this is how you can do that in PHP.

Here we go, set this as .htaccess file in your /dev/ directory

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  #RewriteBase /dev/

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(css|js|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|bmp)$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?id=$1 [L,B,QSA]
</IfModule>

May require uncomment of RewriteBase based on your server setup

your code is working when i enter anything instead of index. it redirect to index.php. but i dont want that. when user enter testwebsite.com/dev/test that url rewrite to testwebsite.com/dev/films.php?id=test that – Development Team SUDO Jan 24 '16 at 18:28
`RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ films.php?id=$1 [L,B,QSA]` this is work for me – Development Team SUDO Jan 24 '16 at 19:10
@DevelopmentTeamSUDO Sorry for long response, so you need that redirect only when it containt **test** or starts with test like **test/films**, am i correct? – zr9 Jan 24 '16 at 19:35
