rewrite url with query string

[tumbleweed_guy]

Hi,

I'm trying to rewrite this url below.

http://www.curiouscountrycreations.com/index.php?main_page=index

to this.

http://www.curiouscountrycreations.com/

I'm having trouble capturing the QUERY_STRING and eliminating it. The closest that I have got is this so far.
http://www.curiouscountrycreations.com/?main_page=index

Any help would be appreciated. I have looked at a lot of forums to make this happen but none have given me a good answer.

[void_function]

I assume you're trying to eliminate the necessity to include ?main_page=index in URL when accessing the front page, right? In that case, simply check for isset($_GET['main_page']), and if it is not set, assume index is requested.

Or if you wish to visibly redirect (coupled with above):

if ($_GET['main_page']=='index') {
header ('Location: http://yourdomain.com');
exit;
}
