Server redirects via .htaccess

[Rumbaar]

I've since moved my main site from php-nuke to SMF and looking to better redirect old URL's if possible, and I'm having trouble working out rewriteCond and rewriteRule to perform what I want to do.

For the first two URL's want to take the ID numbers and pass them to the target URL.

So I want to redirect this URL:

Code Select Expand

modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=6825
To:

Code Select Expand

index.php?topic=6825

Also from:

Code Select Expand

modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=232
To:

Code Select Expand

index.php?action=profile;u=232

Then want to capture any left over URL's that start with

Code Select Expand

modules.php
and redirect to base

Code Select Expand

index.php of my main URL.

Any times and assistance would be appreciated.

not an .htaccess solution, but a solution

Code (modules.php) Select Expand


<?php
//check ID_TOPIC
if (isset($_REQUEST['t']))
{
$newurl = 'Location: index.php?topic='.$_REQUEST['t'];
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header($newurl);
header('Connection: close');
}

//check ID_MEMBER
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['u']))
{
$newurl = 'Location: index.php?action=profile;u='.$_REQUEST['u'];
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header($newurl);
header('Connection: close');
}

//Redirecht to index.php
else 
{
$newurl = 'Location: index.php';
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header($newurl);
header('Connection: close');
}
?>

Sweet thx TE, any solution that works ... will work for me.  I'll test it out and see how it goes.

EDIT: Tested, and it works PERFECTLY! and I'll be able to add to that as well if needed.

Thank you!
