all i want is to redirect all hits

at http://www.funandgamesonly.com/

or http://www.funandgamesonly.com/index.php


to

http://www.funandgamesonly.com/1.php

can someone please help?

index.php:<?php header('Location: 1.php'); ?>

^ thanks,

but do u know how to do it using mod rewrite.

Why do you need mod_rewrite?

because the site has tracking code for refferers, and if i use the above code the refferer would change to http://www.funandgamesonly.com/ and tracking wouldn't work.

<?php header('Location: 1.php?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); ?> Try that. :)

what does that do lol

another reason for wanting to use mod rewrite is that
1.php
2.php and so on

are dynamic pages, driven from index.php , but i only want the redirect to work on index.php

I can't really help you since you aren't explaining your problem in full.

How does it know whether to redirect to 1.php or 2.php?

well all i want to do is to redirect trafic from

index.php to 1.php (but 1.php is really index.php?page=1)

I already have a pagination script that is doing the redirecting to 2.php , 3.php and so on...

basically i want to abandon the use of index.php and redirect the traffic to 1.php, as they both produce the same page.

did that make sense?


and i think the code below
<?php header('Location: 1.php'); ?>

will not work as it would run for all pages, which are created from index.php

ie.

2.php is really index.php?page=2
and
3.php is really index.php?page=3

so thats why i want a off page solution.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule page/([0-9A-Za-z\.]+) /index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

This will convert domain.com/page/1 into domain.com/index.php?page=1

There really shouldn't be a .php on the end of the rewritten URL, since half the point of mod_rewrite is to remove any part of the URL that could change over time.
