URL Rewrite rule

I trying to write "rewriting rule" in .htaccess file

I have php file on my server by name go.php

This file is use to forward/redirect to provided url/link

For example: mydomian.com/go.php?url=http://www.google.com/

It works perfect but I want to make it like mydomain.com/?http://www.google.com/

my htaccess code

RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ go.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]

This one does not work then I tried

RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ go.php?url=$1 [L]

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .+
RewriteRule ^/?$ go.php?url=%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

QUERY_STRING is automatically carried forwarded to new URI.

The problem with the second one is that the question mark is a Regex special character that effectively means "if it exists." So the second example won't work because it's saying that the URI could start with a slash.

This is untested, but I think it should be as simple as escaping the question mark so that it's viewed as a character. Like so:

RewriteRule ^/\?(.*)$ go.php?url=$1 [L]

Note the extra slash before the question mark which identifies it as a string and not a special character.
