The redirect you need is incredibly simple.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(home\.php)?\?rid=888601032\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(home\.php)?$ http://www.example.com/examplepage.php? [R=301,L]

It redirects any root request with the RID within it.

Wouldn't be better to use php to do this?

if ((int)$_GET['rid'] == 888601032) // or something like this
    header('Location: examplepage.php');

It depends on what you want to do, but it would be more flexible if you want to redirect to a different page depending on the "rid" parameter, or if you want to do some operation (like setting a cookie) before redirecting the user.

Put this in yout .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} rid=888601032
RewriteRule ^home.php       examplepage.php [R,L,QSA]

If you dont want the redirect to be visible, leave the [R] flag.

Hope this helps!

The syntax is:

redirect accessed-file URL-to-go-to

There are 3 parts;

(1) the Redirect command,
(2) the location of the file/directory you want redirected, and
(3) the full URL of the location you want that request sent to.

These parts are separated by a single space and should be on one line.

For example, if you want to redirect users from oldfile.html in the www directory of your account, myaccount, to newpage.html, the syntax should be

redirect /~myaccount/oldfile.html http://www.indiana.edu/~myaccount/newpage.html
