Strip certain querystring values (but not all) from a url using htaccess

Question

As an extension of a previous post I have the following url:

test/example/example/index.html?t=Audi&p=Petrol

but I would like a rewrite rule to strip out the query-string t and p. Note that there may be other querystring values that may be passed and these should not be stripped.

Try:

# First remove the t=something
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)(^|&)t=[^&]+(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?%1%3 [N]

# Next remove the p=something
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)(^|&)p=[^&]+(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?%1%3 [L]

So going to http://domain/test/example/example/index.html?a=b&t=fooo&d=f&p=barr&e=r will result in the URI getting rewritten to: /test/example/example/index.html?a=b&d=f&e=r

Something like this:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)\&t=[a-zA-Z]+(.+)$ %1%2 [L]

Or use some RewriteCond if you need to collect that params, ie. though ENV.

Well "Something like this:" will not work as RewriteRule does NOT work with query string like that -- only via RewriteCond.
