.htaccess redirect if containing a substring

Question

I need to create an .htaccess file that:

if url contains "chat.swf", then redirect to "chat.php"

I tried with

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} chat\.swf
RewriteRule .* chat.php [R=301,L]

But it seems bad

Any idea ?

Regards

Answer 1

Cear your browser cache & restart then try this rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule chat\.swf /chat.php [R=301,L,NC]

If for some reason this doesn't work, post your complete .htaccess in your question.

Answer 2

Try this

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^.*\chat.swf$ /chat.php [R=301,L]
