Redirect from example.com/file.php to example.com/file.php?id=1

Question

How do I redirect from example.com/file.php to example.com/file.php?id=1 with .htaccess?

I want that .htaccess adds automatically the ?id=1 to this specific link, but not to other .php files, only this specific file.php.

You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)id=1(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^file\.php$ $0?id=1 [L,NC,QSA,R=302]
