Htaccess redirect with question mark

[darkanweb]

Hi I have a problem setting up my htaccess for a specific page that has a question mark in the link, and one that has a space in the link and also a question mark. So I would like 2 redirects in my htaccess like that:

www.olddomain.com/page.php?page=pagename1

to

www.newdomain.com/newpage1.html

www.olddomain.com/page.php?page=page name2

to

www.newdomain.com/newpage2.html

I have tried with something like this but doesn't work:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^page.php?page=pagename1 "http://www.newdomain.com/newpage1.html" [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^page.php?page=page name2 "http://www.newdomain.com/newpage2.html" [R=301,L]

Could someone tell me what exactly I have to change?

Thanks

Hi kyle thanks for the answer, I have tried with this code:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=13$
RewriteRule ^/page.php$ http://www.example.com/newname.htm? [L,R=301]

But it doesn't work. Is it possible that it requires page.php?id=13 to exist? I don't have anymore the file on the server... Trying to reach page.php?id=13 it responds with a 404 error.

Any solutions?

Check out this page, about half way down in the article: http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles3/spiders-301-redirect.htm

They cover both dynamic query pages and pages with spaces.

Good luck - kyle
