How to remove string from URL using mod_rewrite

[Coldfire]

I have this URL

http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/...k12j1b32l12lj3

I want to redirect the user to

http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/2

basically I need to remove this "?gclid=1kn23k12j1b32l12lj3" part

I need the RewriteCond and RewriteRule for it...

I’d try something like

RewriteRule ([^?]+)\?.+ $1

[Coldfire]

The above rule is not working for me.

Here is the htaccess that I have,

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
 
# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php
 
# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
 
  RewriteRule ([^?]+)\?.+ $1
  #RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/1?gclid=(.*)$  customer/city/1/ [L,QSA]
  #RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/2?gclid=(.*)$  customer/city/2/ [L,QSA]
 
</IfModule>
 

This Rule works OK if I have only one destination page for the redirect. But, I have to redirect based on the query string e.g.

http://mysite.com/customer/city/2?gclid=adk131kh231k23h

then I will be redirected to

http://mysite.com/

Even If the url is

http://mysite.com/customer/city/1?gclid=K12K3HKH123K
i will be redirected to

http://mysite.com/

The RewriteRules I need are for following URL scenarious,


If City = 1

http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/...k12j1b32l12lj3
I want to be redirected to city 1 i.e.
http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/1



If City = 2

http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/...k12j1b32l12lj3
I want to be redirected to city 2 i.e.
http://www.mysite.com/customer/city/2


I have written the rules for them, but they doesnt seem to work correctly as they redirect me alwyas to http://mysite.com

Here are these,

#RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/1?gclid=(.*)$  customer/city/1/ [L,QSA]
  #RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/2?gclid=(.*)$  customer/city/2/ [L,QSA]

Any help would be appreciated.

from the RegEx point-of-view it works, but I can’t test it myself. even ^([^?]+)\?.+$ works. not sure if you have to add further flags.
