301: Dynamic URL to Static Page

[ohlmanngroup]

I've been going around trying to get this dynamic url to redirect in the .htaccess file. I know I'm missing something but can't figure it out.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/dynamic-url.php?id=43$
RewriteRule ^$ http://static/page/url/inserted/here? [R=301,L]

Suggestions?

No sure exactly what you are trying to do...

this is something similar does it help? (from Stack Overflow)

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=product/category&path=35&page=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /product/category/35/page_%1? [R=301,L]

I'm trying to take a dynamic url and redirect (301) it to a static url

dynamic: /dynamic-url.php?id=43

static: http://static/page/url/inserted/here

Ahh yes I know what you mean that way. I meant programatically. Are you going to go through all the urls and manually assign them a redirect or are you trying to do one rewrite for multiple urls?

If the first one you could just use the example I gave you and modify it.

Also only just noticed I see you haven't escaped your metacharacters. This an example from mine (not using dynamic urls):

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^Old-Page.html$ "http://www.domain.com/New-Page.html" [R=301,L]

It is the first one unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for me.

In that case try my rewrite, like this and escape your metacharacters like . /  - etc..

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^dynamic-url.php?id=43$ "http://static/page/url/inserted/here" [R=301,L]

edited that I forgot to escape the - and . in dynamic-url.php

Hi there,

If it's only that URL (not a group of URLs with a pattern to follow) that you need to 301-redirect then you can directly use:

RedirectMatch 301 /dynamic-url.php?id=43 http://www.yourdomain.com/static/page/url/inserted/here

If this is not the situation please let me know!

Thanks,
