How to rewrite and redirect this url?

Question

How can I rewrite this url:

http://www.mydomain.com/myoldpage.php?proc=my query string (whitespace in mid)

To

http://www.mydomain.com/mynewpage.php

If a user opens old url it should redirect to new one and show content of older one.

Thanks!

Answer 1

add the php code at the top of the myoldpage.php:

<?php header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/mynewpage.php"); ?>

or if you are going off a certain variable

<?php

if ($_GET['proc'] == "my"){
 header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/mynewpage.php");
}

?>

Answer 2

Just simply put this in you .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^myoldpage.php?proc=my+query+string$ mynewpage.php [PT]

Please tell me if it does not work and I will try to help you :)
