mod_rewrite remove ?item=

I would like to remove "?item=" from an URL.

So, from

domain.com/?item=2

To

domain.com/2

How to simply remove question mark, key and equal sign?

Usually in your programming language you would write the final url you would like to see in the url bar, so domain.com/2, and then in your .htaccess file you would make this unrecognized address to become recognized by your program with transforming it to domain.com/?item=2.

This redirection would be done like: RewriteRule ^\d+$ index.php?item=$1 [L]

[EDIT]

I know it's not fair if I edit my rule above - now I realize it's incomplete haha - so I change it here:

RewriteRule ^(\d+)/?$ index.php?item=$1 [L]

The only thing I want to add to accepted answer is that you can replace [0-9]+ with \d+.

To convert

  • /?item=2

to

  • /2

You can use this rule :

RewriteEngine on
#1) externally redirect the request "/?item=numbers" to "/numbers"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?item=([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [L,R]
#2) internally rewrite "/numbers" back to "/?item=numbers"
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/?$ /?item=$1 [L]

You can do that kind of rewrite like;

[apache]
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/([0-9]{1})[/]?$ index.php?item=$1
