: How to use a RewriteRule and Redirect 301 at the same time? I have my Url with multiple parameters: mydomain.com/?vote.php?ranking=parameter1&lang=parameter2&period=parameter3&provider=parameter4

@Lee4591628

I use:

RewriteRule ... [L,R=301]


The rewrite does a 301 redirect. I'm not sure about whether this is a redirection loop or not though as I'm not familiar enough with the subject.

I commented that I have many concerns about your plan. It doesn't look great for SEO to me at all. However, you can do the redirects.

I would take the approach of adding a redirect=no parameter to your rewrite rule:

RewriteRule .* /vote.php?ranking=%2&lang=%1&period=%3&provider=%4&redirect=no [L,NC]


Then in vote.php you can distinguish between requests that should be redirected and requests that should not.

if (strcmp("no", $_GET['redirect']) !== 0) {
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: www.example.com/$ranking/$lang/$period/$provider );
}
