.htaccess rewrite

Question

I want to change URLs like below:

http://www.gsmsite.nl/zakelijk/product/phone?b=met-internet-250plus

To:

http://www.gsmsite.nl/zakelijk/product/phone?bundel=met-internet-250plus

How would I do that with an .htaccess rewrite rule?

Answer 1

You would need to use a RewriteCond against the QUERY_STRING variable.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^b=(.*)$  [NC]
RewriteRule ^/zakelijk/product/phone$  /zakelijk/product/phone?bundel=%1  [NC,L,R=301]

It might be wiser to do any business-logic redirects in PHP; rather than, complicating HTTPD behavior.

if (isset($_GET['b'])) {
  location($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?bundel='.$_GET['b']);
  exit;
}
