How to redirect invalid URL in .htaccess?

Question

/ (directory/?param=value) cannot change this url

directory/?param=value

to

directory/value

It's not work:

RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_URI} ^/directory/.*

RewriteRule   ^/directory/\?param=(.*)    /directory/$1 [L]

My problem is how to replace ?param= ???

Answer 1

These rules should work for you:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(directory)/\?param=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^(directory)/([^/]+)/?$ /$1/?param=$2 [L,QSA,NC]

Answer 2

You can't match against the query string (everything after the ? ) in a RewriteRule , try:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?directory/(.+)$ /directory/?param=$1 [L]

That takes: directory/value and rewrites it internally to serve the content at directory/?param=value .
