remove '?pg=1' from the url with mod_rewrite?

sorry to sound so n00bish but i think i need your help here:

for reasons that are a bit complicated to explain and not relevant after all, i want to rewrite all requests to

http://www.mydomain.com/?pg=1
to
http://www.mydomain.com/

(should only happen for ?pg=1 — not for ?pg=2, etc)

tried a ton of different things but i’m either getting an error 500 or it doesn’t work. grrrr. guess this is a no brainer for someone who knows what he’s doing, right? :)

You could put this in your template
<txp:php>unset($_GET['pg']);</txp:php>

“(should only happen for ?pg=1 — not for ?pg=2, etc)”

<txp:php>
if(gps('pg') == 1 && section(array()) == 'default') header('Location: '.hu , TRUE , 301);
</txp:php>

thanks gocom! so is this the best way? i thought that mod_rewrite would be the right tool for the job…

EDIT: aargh. i was having the same issue before. when doing a redirect like this i’m getting:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>200 OK</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>OK</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/">here</A>.<P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3 Server at www.mydomain.com Port 80</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML>

Try this:

<txp:php>
if(gps('pg') == 1 && section(array()) == 'default')
{
    if (IS_CGI)
    {
        txp_status_header('303 See Other');
    }
    header('Location: '.hu , TRUE , 301);
}
</txp:php>

that worked! thanks jon-michael.

(however, i’m still a bit confused why nobody is suggesting a mod_rewrite solution ;))

Thou shalt not stay in confusion any longer:

	RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} pg=1 [NC]
	RewriteRule .* / [L]
