Need Redirection Trick in .htaccesss

I need to know how to redirect users when they go to certain URLs that
no longer exist, using a setting in my Apache .htaccess file.

For instance, if I used to have a url like http://site.com/abc/directory.php,
and /abc/directory.php no longer exists on the server, I want to add a
setting in .htaccess such that they redirect to /index.php.

You do not mean http://site.com/ , do you?
Please use http://www.example.com/ for examples!
