Use Apache mod_rewrite. The RewriteRule pattern must match the URL-path "comments/php" and a RewriteCond examining %{QUERY_STRING} will be needed to match the "shownews=<digits>" query appended to that URL-path. Finally, add the "?" mod_rewrite operator to the end of the replacement URL in the RewriteRule in order to clear the current query string.

See the resources cited in our Apache Forum Charter if you need additional info.
