Redirect URL with parameters using htaccess

[ChocolateLover]

I'd like to redirect index.php to the root, but pass the parameters too.

This is what I have
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This redirects www.example.com/index.php to www.example.com.

I want to be able redirect www.example.com/index.php?id=1 to www.example.com/?id=1

The query string could be anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Your rule passes query strings by default, but your RewriteCond is excluding index requests with query strings from being redirected. So add a sub-pattern to it that will accept a query (blank or otherwise) after the URL:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.ph[b]p(\?[^\ ]*)?\[/b] HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.php$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Note that the query string is never present in the URL-path variable examined by the RewriteRule. Therefore the additional sub-pattern must not be added there.
