How to remove a ? question mark in the middle of a url

[archigeek]

I have this URL:

http://hostname/dir/file.php?string1/string2

and I want to turn it into

http://hostname/string1/string2


when i do this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^dir/file\.php$ . [R=301]

it turns the url to http://hostname/?string1/string2

How do I get rid of that "?" in the middle??

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^dir/file\.php$ /%1? [NC,R=301,L]
