how to convert all subdomain request to main domain, and keep url rewrite

hello I have a website with a main domain , and subdomains.. running over apache web server and centOS... I also have a url rewrite mechanism such as

http://subdomain.domain.com/buy-a-new-car

Id like to redirect all subdomain requests to main domain, keeping the url rewrite like this:

http://domain.com/buy-a-new-car

the .htaccess code i have so far results in this :

http://domain.com/index.php?buy-a-new-car

id like to get rid of the ( index.php? ) part, but I am new to writing .htaccess directives and confused by REGEX

here is my current code :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Options -Indexes
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

any help would be greatly appreciated !

Why not use Redirect and/or RedirectMatch and save the Rewrite stuff for the real rewriting of URLs? See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/avoid.html

I find this a much more "self documenting" approach which doesn't force you to understand all the rewrite logic each time you go in there.

You need your redirects to happen first, then at the end, do your routing to index.php:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Options -Indexes -Multiviews

# redirect subdomains to main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# redirect direct accesses to index.php 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /index\.php\?/([^&\ ]+)&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1?%2 [L,R=301]

# route everything to index.php internally
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1
