.htaccess rewrite

Hello guys, I'm trying to redirect some pages which address are:

example.html?id=7
example.html?id=14
example.html?id=17
example.html?id=6

For some reason because the extension is .html the redirect does not work with the complete string so I redirected example.html to index.php and it worked but now here is the problem:

If you go to example.html?id=7 you get index.php?id=7 or
if you go to example.html?id=17 you get index.php?id=17.

My question is:
-How can I redirect example.html?id=7 to /example/address and make it work.
-If that is not possible how can I make example.html?id=7 go to index.php and loose all of the extra strings.

Something like the below should do it for you,
Ian

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=7$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?id=7? [R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=14$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?id=14? [R=301]

Ok after looking again the below should and i have tested it on my site redirect whatever id to index.php?=whateverid

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+) 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?=id%1 [R=301]

Or here's a little shortcut to be placed on index.php
As you said:
If you go to example.html?id=7 you get index.php?id=7
or
if you go to example.html?id=17 you get index.php?id=17

Codes below ...

<?php
// put on index.php
if ( isset($_GET['id']) ) {
	header("Location: index.php");
	exit;
}
?>
