Rewrite Query String

Question

I have this URL:

oldsite.com/profile.php?uid=10

I would like to rewrite it to:

newsite.com/utenti/10

How can I do that?

Answer 1

To use matches in the rewrite conditions, you have to use %1 instead of $1. Also, if you wish to remove the rest of the query string you have to append a ?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^uid=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^profile\.php$ http://www.newsite.com/utenti/%1? [R=301,L]
