  http://localhost/Current/

respectively. But for start(and also for easy) i want to change only index.php file to home . i found this script while searching web

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^home/?$ index.php [NC,L]

You probably have some sort of misconception over how rewriting works:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^home/?$ index.php [NC,L]

This means that if the URL (which was typed in the browser) matches the first argument (^home/?$), that request should be rewritten to index.php.

What you should do, is instead of trying to get to type index.php in the browser bar, type http://localhost/home/. You should see the index page, even though the browser address bar says /home/.

Open up .htaccess and insert the following code:

RewriteEngine On
Options -multiviews

RewriteRule ^home/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^People/$ people.php [L]
RewriteRule ^Current/$ current.php [L]

Then go to your website URL and do: /home/ (and /People/ /Current/)
