Apache challenge: use .htaccess to implement a redirect from http://mydomain.com/index.php?somevar=1 to http://mydomain.com/index.php?differentvar=2 Note that the variable name changes and the value of the variable changes. I'm pretty sure this is impossible (!) And yes, I've googled the shit out of this :D

Did I mention that this is... impossible? Yeah, gauntlet thrown down.

If you want exactly one to the other, it's possible. Are you asking for something more dynamic?

Wouldn't that simply be: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^somevar=1$ [NC] RewriteRule index.php http://mydomain.com/index.php\?differentvar=2 [L,R=301] This is off the top of my head though. edit: well, 301 isn't needed, but usually a good idea if it's a permanent new location.

Wow, you answered my question off the top of your head. Good job. I knew this wasn't impossible!

In the future, when you have a specific programming-related problem, you'll probably get the best results posting on one of the StackExchange Q&A sites (probably Server Fault for this question). People with the knowledge Dada displayed use those sites quite a bit.
