How to Redirect Some URL's to index page in PHP

I have to do some maintenance of one angular project which has a PHP backend. I have never worked on PHP so I am trying to locate how URL's are configured in PHP project. I just want to redirect /careers and /apply to index page currently it gives me page not found.

Simply I want to change the url from /apply to #/apply and server the index.php file

You are using angularjs so routing is also best option for you.Please check this link it might be helpful.

http://scotch.io/tutorials/javascript/single-page-apps-with-angularjs-routing-and-templating

and if you want in php only then 

header("Location: index.php");

there are different ways also but it is easy.

This is an easy way to redirect:

header("Location: index");
die();

That line of code sends a HTTP header to the client to tell it to redirect. To do this, just put this code at the top of your PHP file:

<?php
  header("Location: index.php");
  die();
?>

so I am trying to locate how URL's are configured in PHP project

Simply put, they work very similarly to how HTML files are setup. When you load www.example.com/index.php, there's a PHP file called index.php in the root of where the webpage is stored.

You can also do redirects with .htaccess files/other config files so it'll be www.example.com/index, but that's not inside PHP.

I think this is easier to achieve with .htaccess:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/apply/$ http://domain.tld/ RedirectMatch 301 ^/careers/$ http://domain.tld/

This is because you need to add .php to the url (/careers.php), if you want to have clean url's like /careers instead of /careers.php you need to use a .htaccess file with the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

or

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
