Thanks for your replies.

I figured out how to remove the query string in the url by putting a? at the end of the rewrite rule. So now all is working perfectly. Here is the code.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} URL_ID=1527&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201*
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}!minga

# the? at the end of the line removes the query string.

RewriteRule ^(.*) /minga? [R,L]
RewriteRule ^minga/ /minga [R,L]
RewriteRule ^minga /ev.php?URL_ID=1527&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201 [PT,L,NC]

Thanks again.
