What code have you tried already?

Do you need a 301 redirect (where the URL in the browser changes to be the new one) or an internal rewrite (where the URL in the browser continues to show the requested URL)?

here is my code ( i put it in the .htaccess under the subdomain):

rewritebase /

rewriterule (.*)$ http://www.example.biz/new_online_games.php?current=$1 [NC,l]

If you include the protocol and domain in the substitution URL, then an external redirect will be generated, changing the client browser's address bar. This behaviour is documented in the mod_rewrite documentation.

For an internal rewrite, you need something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#
RewriteCond $1 !^new_online_games\.php$
RewriteRule (.*) /new_online_games.php?current=$1 [L]

The RewriteCond is intended to prevent a rewriting loop, since otherwise *all* URLs will be rewritten to the php file, including the php file itself.
