In your htaccess in the root , put the following :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^social-app/login\.php$ /social-app/pages/login.php [L]

Now instead of going to long URL you can just type /social-app/login.php to access the file in pages folder.

EDIT :

To remove the directory name for all files , you can use the following :

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/social-app/pages/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^social-app/([^.]+)\.php$ /social-app/pages/$1.php [L]

If the rule above fails , then use this :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^social-app/(.+)\.php$ /social-app/pages/$1.php [L]

This will internally map a request for /social-app/filename.php to /social-app/pages/filename.php .

If everything (ie. images, CSS, JS and PHP pages) need to be rewritten to the /pages subdirectory then you can do something like the following in the /social-app/.htaccess file using mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule !^pages/ pages%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

This unconditionally rewrites everything that is not already prefixed with pages/ to the pages subdirectory. eg. /social-app/login.php is internally rewritten to /social-app/pages/login.php.

If you have static resources in other locations that should not be rewritten then include a filesystem check to prevent requests that already map to existing files from being rewritten. For example:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^pages/ pages%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

If you are changing an existing URL structure then you'll need to redirect the old URLs that are indexed by search engines and perhaps linked to from third parties. For example, the following "redirect" would need to go before the above rewrite:

RewriteBase /social-app

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^page/(.*) $1 [R=301,L]
