Hi JDMorgan

I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2 days. I have read through most of these articles but can't seem to figure it out. I have been playing around with the .htaccess and have managed to redirect in various ways but can't seem to solve this one. Hence the reason for my post.

OK nearly there. I've managed to rewrite using the following.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

rewriteCond %{query_string} pageName=Info&id=1234&prodID=xyz
rewriterule ^index\.jsp$ [mysite.dom...] [R=301,L]

However prodID=xyz is a variable, can anybody advise on how I pass xyz from the query_string to rewriterule.

[jdMorgan]

Sure, see the term 'back-references' in the documentation:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} pageName=Info&id=1234&prodID=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^index\.jsp$ http://www.example.com/search.php?hd_request=20&prodId=%1 [R=301,L]
