    Guys,

    I'm having trouble with a redirect rule in my .htaccess file. Rule is :

    redirect 301 "/somepage.php?page=MP3 Players" /new_page

    ( Note the space in the first path, and the lack of extention in the second. )

    I have a mod-rewrite rule that deals with the second bit :

    RewriteRule ^new_page$ somepage.php?page=MP3\ Players and this works fine.

    What am I doing wrong in the 301 redirect ???

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Have you tried using %20 instead of a space? Should work much better. You can also use a + symbol, but %20 is favoured these days.

    Cryo.
