Htaccess redirect veriables

[NoisyLittleMonkey]

Hey,

I'm trying to redirect all instances of "/archive_details.php?id=*" to "/public-affairs-job-archive.php". Is the below code correct?

Redirect 301 /archive_details.php?id=* /public-affairs-job-archive.php

Thanks, Luke.

Your construction is not correct because the second parameter in your redirect, the url you are redirecting to, needs to be the full url, like this: http://www.yourdomain.com/public-affairs-job-archive.php

If you need to redirect any URLs matching a phrase you can use RedirectMatch -it performs a regular expression redirect.

In your case the redirect will look like this:

RedirectMatch 301 /archive_details.php?id=(.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/public-affairs-job-archive.php
