How to detect GET ID and rewrite?

[toplisek]

I need to detect GET ID for page and rewrite to my search frindly URL.
I tried to do with the following but it does not detect code:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=(.*)
RewriteRule ^sales/index.php?id=short /Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html

Why is not detected GET ID short and changed to page name
/Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html

How to add also redirection if URL has name like:
sales/index.php?id=short

Redirection is to

http://www.mydomain.com/Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html

php?id [google.com]

RewriteRule cannot "see" query string data.

You need that preceding

RewriteCond

looking at

%{QUERY_STRING}

to do that, but must not repeat the query string data in the RewriteRule pattern.

Add the

[L]

flag if this is an internal rewrite.

Add the

[R=301,L]

flags if this is a redirect.

Will this work?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=(.*)
Redirect permanent /sales/index.php?id=short /Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html [R,L]


What is definition of internal and what redirect?
Is base server and its files to outside EXTERNAL server (domain)?

No it will not work.

You cannot use

RewriteCond

and

Redirect

together.

RewriteCond

goes only with

RewriteRule

.

Use a

RewriteRule

, but do not include the query string in the

RewriteRule

pattern.

With the

[R]

flag you have invoked a 302 "temporary" redirect.

You probably need the

[R=301,L]

flags here in order to invoke a 301 "permanent" redirect.

The redirect instructs the browser to make a new request for a different URL.

# Redirect requests for /sales/index.php?id=short to www.example.com/Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=short$
RewriteRule ^sales/index\.php$ http://www.example.com/Amazonsalesarticles/mysefriendlypage.html? [R=301,L]
