Remove query string from URL using .htaccess

Question

I am trying to make the following redirection using .htaccess.

Redirect this:

http://www.example.com/[email protected]

To this:

http://www.example.com/index.php?something

So basically all I want is to remove @gmail.com from the query string whenever is presented while keeping everything else.

I tried the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)@gmail.com$
RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1%2? [R=permanent]

Unfortunately didn't work even after doing multiple tweaks. What is wrong?

Welcome to SO, could you please do provide details like uri [email protected] should be taken care by which file in backend? Thank you. — RavinderSingh13

Sorry for not being clear enough. The processing page is index.php. So the URL is like this: website.com/[email protected] I need to remove @gmail.com whenever presented. So it should always be redirected to: website.com/index.php?something — Mohammed Kadhim

With your shown samples/attempts, please try following. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Please make sure that htacces and index.php files are on root folder at same level.

RewriteEngine ON
##Redirect rules to get index.php?something in browser here.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/(index\.php)\?([^@]*)@.*\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1?%2 [R=301,L]
