New url but keep query parameter

[charford2 Profile]

How can I rewrite old urls but keep the querystring parameter?
e.g
old url: myscript.asp?id=1234
new url: mynewscript.asp?id=1234

Hello,

You'll need QSA-flag as in the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^myscript\.asp$ /mynewscript.asp [QSA,NC,L]

Many thanks for the quick response.
I made a mistake in my question.
I need to keep the parameter value but change the querystring parameter name.
e.g.
old url: myscript.asp?id=1234
new url: mynewscript.asp?otherid=1234

[HeliconAndrew]

In this case:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^myscript\.asp$ /mynewscript.asp?otherid=%1? [NC,L]
