Regular Joined: Jun 04, 2004 Posts: 84 Location: Germany

first, this is not realy shortlink specifyed, but I found no better Categorie.

I like to go the other way and try to rewrite for example via .htaccess the url : modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=74 -> lexika.html?id=$1? [R=301,L]

I tryed several variations but without succes, as i found it has to do with questionmark. has some of you a hint for me how it can be solved?

thanks Brujo

I believe that regex reserved characters may have to be escaped (but didn't think that was so on the right-hand side so not 100% sure here). Try a backslash in front of the question mark.

Hi Montego, thats what i tryed with backsslash and so on before i wrote here. However I found finaly a solution for me, it seems the apache pass everything behind the questionmarkt to the query so my working solution looks now like:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^modules\.php$ lexika.html\?id=%1 [R=301,L]

thanks
