301 redirect rewriterule not working in apache for article id=3 and id=39

Question

I used RewriteRule for 301 redirect in Apache server - all URLS working except these two:

1. articles.details.php?recordID=3
2. articles.details.php?recordID=39

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} recordID=3
RewriteRule ^articles.details\.php$ /festivals-religious/? [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} recordID=39
RewriteRule ^articles.details\.php$ /festivals-traditional/? [L,R=301]

Both URLs redirected to: /festivals-religious/.

I think conflict with recordID=3 and recoredID=39 , as 3 exists in both URLs.

Answer 1

The problem is that the second RewriteCond also matches the first one. One option would be to add a $ to the end of the first rule, like so:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} recordID=(3)$
RewriteRule ^articles.details.php$ /festivals-religious/? [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} recordID=39
RewriteRule ^articles.details.php$ /festivals-traditional/? [L,R=301]

The $ means "the end of this particular query string."
