readme.php#link --> readme.php?id=link

[attiba]

I have a lot of links from anywhere to my old (Huge) readme.php file and can not inform each one that links to this Website that I am about to create a new dynamic website. Therefore I would like to redirect like this:

readme.php#link --> readme.php?id=link

I think it could be done with Rewrite but I donīt know how. Please Help.

Hi

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are needing.

Could you please post an examplified URL from the 'old' site and a similar examplified URL from the new site, along with a sample of code that you have tried... We try not to code on demand here, but help you out with portions of your code that are not working as you would like them to.

As I understand it, the #xyz is not available to Apache. In fact I'm fairly certain about it.

If Apache never knows about it you will never be able to act on it.

Just think of clicking a # link on a site - it doesn't even reload the page.

vincevincevince: I hope you are not right about this but it makes sence.

Old Url:
[www2.uibk.ac.at...]

New Url: (File doesnīt exsit yet, jus want to se how the Apache solves the URL)
[www2.uibk.ac.at...]

My .htaccess try:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule readme\.php\#([az-A-Z0-9]+)$ readme.php?id=$ [L]

Your code is close.

.htaccess located at http://www2.example.ac.at/.htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ub/readme\.php\#([a-z0-9]+)$ /ub/readme.php?id=$1 [NC,L] 

You may need to add the Options line shown above -- it depends on your server configuration.

However, I agree that named anchors (#anchor_name) are handled entirely within the browser, so this may not work.
