remove string from url (.htaccess)

Question

My URL looks something like this:

example.com/index.php?redirected=1

in my .htaccess-file, I want to remove the last part of my url.

I wrote that:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com\/index.php\?redirected=1$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

But for some reason, it isn't working. It is right after the line:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

I found similar questions, but that didn't do the trick. Thanks

With this code in the .htaccess-file, it redirects me to: www.example.com/index.php

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+(.*)\?redirected=1&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1?%2 [L,R]

When i remove the %2 (which i thought was the index.php-part, it'll result in infinte redirects.

Update: I updated the regexp like this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+(.*)\?redirected=1&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

still the "index.php" in the end

perfect would be: example.com (so without index.php at the end) — Saffe

Try this instead:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+(.*)\?redirect=1&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1?%2 [L,R]

The %{HTTP_HOST} variable is only the hostname, it contains no path or query string in it.

That almost works for me, thanks so far already! Is there a way to remove the index.php as well? - I'll update the question

You can use this rule for stripping query string and as well as removing index.php:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\?redirected=1[&\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php$ /$1? [L,R=302,NC,NE]
