Redirect from root

[vnbit]

How to redirect from the root website like this:

http://www.example.com/?any=word

to

http://www.example.com/word.html

Here is my way but not work:

RewriteRule ^\?any=(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1.html [R=301,L]

or

RewriteRule ^index\.php\?any=(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1.html [R=301,L]

How can i do that?

RewriteRule cannot see query string data. <-- I have typed these exact words into this forum every day for more than a week.

You need a preceding RewriteCond looking at QUERY_STRING in order to get this to work.

Your solution will also need to add a question mark to the end of the redirected URL in order to clear the query string data otherwise you will have an infinite redirect loop.

Sorry and thank you, sir!

Because my mother language is not English, so I am very grateful for your suggestions about keyword for searching. And i'm a newbie, hope u can sympathize with me.

How this wrong?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} &?any=([^&]+)&?
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1.html? [R=301,L]

It works for

http://www.example.com/index.php?any=something

->

http://www.example.com/something.html

But not for

http://www.example.com/?any=something

->

http://www.example.com/?any=something

It cannot work for

http://www.example.com/?any=something

because your rule says that the request must contain

index.php

and that example URL does not do so.

Change the pattern to

^(index\.php)?$

and it will then work for index.php there or not.

The redirect target must also include the protocol and domain name. Make sure you add them both to your rule.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)any=([^&]+)(&|$)
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.example.com/%2.html? [R=301,L]
