Hello,

Say I have a domain - name.com

I create a directory at name.com/abc

Now, I want user to be redirected to another domain when ever user visit the name.com/abc folder, even if user visit name.com/abc/1 which does not exist, but once user reach the abc folder, anything sub-folder in it, user will be redirected, any one know how to do this.

Thanks

    make an index.php file
    and put this in it.

    Code:
    <?php

   header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html' ) ;

?>
    replaced "http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html" with where you want the user to go.

    If you want to redirect a user even there isn't a sub-folder, then placing an index.php in the root won't work.

    You need to be able to redirect the user's request, and in php you can do that by adding or updating the .htaccess file in the root.
