I have the following url http://mywebsite.com/browse-test.php?v=myname

I want it to be redirected to this instead http://mywebsite.com/myname

This is what I tried so far

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mywebsite.com/browse-test.php?v=$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mywebsite.com/$1 [L,R=302]

When I looked for an answer on this website and google I didn't find any examples that made a redirect based on on a specific file and php url paramater.

    Your RewriteCond can never be true. See httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html Commented Aug 14, 2016 at 22:16

  • Do you want just this file browse-test.php to redirect to mywebsite.com/myname? Commented Aug 14, 2016 at 23:06

This code should help. 

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /+browser-test\.php\?v=([^&\s]+) RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=302,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /browse-test.php?v=$1 [L]

Having a look at the mod_rewrite docs to get a better understanding as MrTux noted is highly suggested to better understand the different options.
