301 redirects with parameters

[charlesr]

The website used to generate pages like: https://ntsc-uk.com/review.php?platf...&game=InitialD

How do I make a 301 for .htaccess so it ends up at https://bordersdown.net/content/725-...eview-Sony-PS2 ??

Redirect 301 /review.php?platform=ps2&game=InitialD https://bordersdown.net/content/725-Initial-D-Special-Stage-Review-Sony-PS2

I thought that would do it, but perhaps the server redirect from ntsc-uk to bd.net is happening first and sending everything to the homepage?

Use

RedirectMatch 301 /oldpage/ /newpage/

That's not working either, but if I've noticed that if I try to navigate to

bordersdown.net/review.php?platform=ps2&game=InitialD

(instead of ntsc-uk.com at the start), it ends up at the page not found page, but if I try anything with ntsc-uk.com at the start, it goes straight to the homepage, so probably multiple issues need solving.

It's probably down to the parameters, take a look at the format of RewriteRule, you can substitute params via that.

Actually, as you're not using params in the destination, you're going to have to get a bit more sophisticated I think and do some regex matching.

That's what I feared I'm not clever enough to do regex in normal timeframes (I get there in the end....)
