Change Part of URL using htaccess

Question

I have URL like

www.abc.com/pqr
www.abc.com/sss/pqr/abc
www.abc.com/ass/pqr/asd/dff

I want to change the pqr to some other word without affecting original functionlaity.

currently I had done something like this

RewriteRule ^pqr/(.*) http://www.mysite.com/someotherword/$1 [L]

But it is affecting functionality like search, login. it is getting redirect the way i want it.

Please help

If you want just to replace the "pqr" part, this is the rewriterule: RewriteRule ^(.)pqr(.)$ $1someotherword$2 [L]

Sounds like the query string is missing? Try:

RewriteRule ^pqr/(.*) http://www.mysite.com/someotherword/$1 [QSA,L]

Alternates to POST data

Use GET instead.

Use a Rewrite condition to not redirect files with POST data, store the data in the database, then call a redirect file, when the file opens on the new server, load the post data from the database.

Post data won't be sent to a new URL, it's a security issue.

So Is there any other way so that i can change part of url as well as post data?

@PratikPrajapati No, you can't rewrite/redirect with POST data
