mod rewrite help for php file

[mingchen]

Hello,

After expericing heavy loads on specific topics on a phpBB I've been trying to use mod rewrite to divert specific phpbb topic to static pages.

An .htaccess file with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ staticpage.html

will divert anything hitting viewtopic.php to staticpage.html

I'm looking for the specific code to divert:

http://www.example.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34252

and I'm coming up short on the correct syntax to add in the '?t=34252' ending so traffic can be diverted.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ming,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

See RewriteCond [httpd.apache.org] in the mod_rewrite documentation.

Specifically, you'll be using

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=34252

Along with the rewriterule matching the base URL.
