Mod_rewrite .htaccess redirect part of a query string?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^\&(.*)$ RewriteRule ^somescript\. Php$ /somescript. Php?

%1 L,R=301.

Thanks for your reply. I tried this, obviously replacing somescipt. Php, but it results in a internal server error?

Any ideas? – Matt Nov 9 '10 at 13:28 Did you enable rewriting (RewriteEngine On)? – elusive Nov 9 '10 at 13:40 Yes, I enabled the rewrite engine.

If you try it you will see it results in an internal sever error. – Matt Nov 9 '10 at 13:45 @Matt: There was a typo in my RewriteCond. Please try the corrected version.

– elusive Nov 9 '10 at 14:02 Thanks for the reply. I tried your re-written suggestion. This time it does not result in a internal server error but unfortunately it doesn't remove the & from the querystring.Do you have any further suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. I tried this, but nothing happened. It did not remove the &.

I even tried it on a clean . Htaccess file, but it didn't work. Any ideas?

– Matt Nov 9 '10 at 13:34 oh, maybe you need to escape the? Like: RewriteRule ^(.*)\? &(.*) $1?

$2 L – Simon Nov 9 '10 at 13:38 Thanks but this didn't work either. No change to the querystring. Any other suggestions?

I'm afraid that I only have a very basic knowledge of .htaccess. – Matt Nov 9 '10 at 13:49 the regex seems to work, tested it here: regexplanet. Com/simple/index.

Html Maybe you have a different problem... – Simon Nov 9 '10 at 13:53 Here is the following exact code used in a clean . Htaccess file: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)\? &(.*) $1?

$2 L When uploaded, the URL remains with the & inserted. Confused. – Matt Nov 9 '10 at 13:56.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
