htaccess: redirect to url without variable

Question

I would like to redirect users to a url without a specific variable. For example

mysite.com/?hop=hahaha

I would like to remove the hop variable and redirect to

mysite.com/

This for subdirectories as well for example

mysite.com/subdir/?hop=hahaha or mysite.com/subdir?hop=hahaha

becomes mysite.com/subdir

I have this so far but it only works for root domains, not subdirs

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^hop=
RewriteRule .* /? [R,L]

(For reference clickbank adds the hop variables to landing pages)

	Thanks just tried it but it redirects from `http://mysite.com/?hop=hahaha` to `http://mysite.com/home/mysite/public_html` It outputs the linux path :) – giorgio79 Nov 15 '11 at 8:56
	Where did you put this code? – quanta Nov 15 '11 at 9:09
	I am using Drupal, so in Drupal's htaccess after `# Various rewrite rules. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on` – giorgio79 Nov 15 '11 at 9:21
	Can you add it to a Virtual Host section? – quanta Nov 15 '11 at 9:24
	I am on a shared host, so no access to that. – giorgio79 Nov 15 '11 at 10:18
