any one is having expertise in url rewrite kindly help me...

Answer 1

I haven't got a test system handy, but something like this in your .htaccess should do the trick:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^m=1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L]

If memory serves, you need the ? at the end of the target in the RewriteRule to stop the original query string being appended.

The code assumes you haven't got any other parameters (eg it won't work if you have ?m=1&foo=bar ).

Answer 2

I want to add a solution on NginX:

Use below code in "location /" Of VirtualHost config

if ($query_string ~ "^m=1$"){
  rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1? redirect;
}
