Redirects

[danni]

Here are some common redirects that are used almost often my webmasters and site owners. So, decided to provide the codes of them.

PHP Single Page Redirect

You have to insert this code in index.php file.

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.newdomain.com/page.html">http://www.newdomain.com/page.html</a><!-- m -->");
exit();
?>

PHP Canonical Redirect

This add or removes the 'www' prefix of your domain.

<?php
if (substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],0,3) != 'www') {
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.'.$_SERVER">http://www.'.$_SERVER</a><!-- m -->['HTTP_HOST']
.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?>

.htaccess Singe Page Redirect

Insert this code in your .htaccess file

Redirect 301 /old/oldpage.htm /new/http://www.domain.com/newpage.htm
