Editing .htaccess, 301 redirect link with variables
I want to redirect an old page (http://www.website.com/page.php?id=47) to a new page (http://www.website.com/redirectpage/). For some reason the code I used does not work. My rewrite engine does work, because other RewriteRules work correctly.

What can I do to fix this problem?

PHP Code:
 RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^page.php?id=47(.*)$ /redirectpage/$1 [R=301,L]

It's not working because you are setting the variable on the url you want to mask and not the main url that is shown to the user.
Try -
PHP Code:
 RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase / 
RewriteRule ^p-(.*)$ /page.php?id=$1 [R=301,L] 


So if you entered in yoursite.com/p-47

it would be the same as entering in yoursite.com/page.php?id=47

That is assuming that the .htaccess file is in the root directory.
