301 redirection not working in my case

Question

I have a old url :

http://www.abc.com/search.php?id=12&name=amit

After some time i have made the changes(for proper url rewriting) in url and it became

http://www.abc.com/search.php?name=amit&id=12

The url rewriting of new url(changed url) is successfully done to

http://www.abc.com/amit-12

But the problem is, How I redirect 301 from old url (through htaccess)

http://www.abc.com/search.php?id=12&name=amit

to

new url

http://www.abc.com/amit-12

I have tried a lots but m unsuccessful..What should I do ? Help.. Anybody!

Thanks !

Answer 1

You can use this rule:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+search\.php\?id=([^&]*)&name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%2-%1? [R=301,L]

Make sure to insert this rule before all other rules .
