I’m trying to find a way to redirect users from a custom url to a specific page.

Example:

User types: [www.mysite.com/programname](http://www.mysite.com/programname)

redirected to: [www.mysite.com/programs.php?programID=17](http://www.mysite.com/programs.php?programID=17)

I’ve seen it done before - I’m hoping someone here knows how. Thanks!
