Hi,

There comes a time when something so elementary hits me... and I forgot how to do it.

How do you make for an extension of a domain, for example...

www.blahblah.com/extension

redirect to.....

www.somethingelse.com

Help, its kinda easy I believe... but I forgot how to do it!

Thanks!

Put something like this in the pages meta tag.

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.yourredirectlink.com">

Change the content="5; part if you want to delay longer or take it out if you do not want a delay. If you are simply going to be redirecting via a sub directory simply make an index.html file with that in the meta tags.

Google is not keen on those META re-directs. Better to use a permanent redirect command in your .htaccess file.

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.your-location-here' ) ;
?>

save that as index.php in the 'extension' directory.

Thanks Francophile for the .htaccess thing. I never knew it could be done through it.
