    And for anyone else who wants quick information here's how it's done in PHP:

    Code:
    <?php

header("Location: yourlinkhere");

?>
    replace yourlinkhere with a URL (begin with http )

    For HTML refresh tag you can put this TAG before </head>
    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2;URL=http://www.destinationurl.com" />
    2 : delay time in second.
    http://www.destinationurl.com : Your destination url.

    I agree. It is done like this:

    put the following into the .htacces file of your hosting (if it doesn't exist, create it and put it into the root or public_html of your hosting account)

    Code:
    redirect /source.html DESTINATION
    Replace DESTINATION with desired url

    this will redirect from http : / / www . yourdomain . tld / source.html

    to http : / / www . destination . tld

    That's nice for you, but since the purpose of a forum is to help other people too, how about posting what the problem was and what solution you discovered?

    P.S. Moderators - URL redirects come up so often that maybe there should be a sticky post about them in this subforum?
