Apache mod_rewrite manipulate query string

Question

How using mod_rewrite could i manipulate the query string variable?

e.g. i want the following query string:

?route=product/product&product_id=158?ax13g76h

rewritten to:

?route=product/product&product_id=158

Basically i only want to keep everything between the 2 question marks. As soon as the second question mark is hit everything after is removed

Is this possible?

For this case you can use this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} route=product/product&product_id=(\d+).*
RewriteRule (.*) $1?route=product/product&product_id=%1

And for all other

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)\?.*
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?%1 [L,R=301]

hmmmm this actually did nothing

This didn't change url. This modify query string. You can print $_REQUEST array and see difference

so how do i change the url as well?

Do you enable RewriteEngine (RewriteEngine On) ?
