Mod-rewrite problem

Hi!

I had a product page with the following URL:


www(dot)xyz(dot)com/productdescription.php?keyval=27


Using mod_rewrite i have successfully 301 the page to:


www(dot)xyz(dot)com/Genee-DS.php


Now the problem is the link which points to the product page still shows the old dynamic URL. I want

to display the new URL: www(dot)xyz(dot)com/Genee-DS.php


Now what i should do.I used the following code in my .htaccess file:


RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keyval\=27$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^productdescription\.php$ http://www(dot)xyz(dot)com/Genee-DS.php? [R=301,L]

I'm not code in htaccess but my point of view is, you try redirect the old dynamic url.
My site got that problem too, but its been fixed. every time I see the old url it redirect to the new url.

Rewriting the url with mod_rewrite will not change the fact that the shopping cart script creates a link with the original url... to do that you would need to alter the script.

Why do you want the new url displayed?

I want to create seo firendly URLs. How i can alter the script.I spent so much time on the Apache module rewrite but still my problem is not solved
