htaccess redirect url

[studiosx]

I have hundreds of links like this:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?tag=value

I want to redirect all links to

http://www.domain.com/value/

Example:

Link1

http://www.domain.com/index.php?tag=LW1fdX49tR

redirect to:

http://www.domain.com/LW1fdX49tR/

Link2

http://www.domain.com/index.php?tag=A3kh0QLIrc

redirect to:

http://www.domain.com/A3kh0QLIrc/

Link3

http://www.domain.com/index.php?tag=vXwNR4U9qY

redirect to:

http://www.domain.com/vXwNR4U9qY/

etc

How can I do that? Thank you!

What have you tried so far? You're describing the basic redirect-to-rewrite two-step, which comes up in this forum about once a week. So you'll find lots of starting points. Especially since it looks as if you've got the simple version-- the one that can be done in mod_rewrite alone, without recourse to a php script.

There are some advantages to cleaning up URLs... but that only makes sense if the site is suffering in either response time or SE indexing. There's nothing wrong with any of the above.
