How do you create this 301 redirect using PHP?

I would like www enforced and file structure intact.

e.g. subdomain[dot]domain[dot]com/bears[dot]php redirects to www[dot]newdomain[dot]com/bears[dot]php
AND/OR
subdomain[dot]domain[dot]com redirects to www[dot]newdomain[dot]com

e.g. newdomain[dot]com/bats[dot]php redirects to www[dot]newdomain[dot]com/bats[dot]php
AND/OR
newdomain[dot]com redirects to www[dot]newdomain[dot]com

How would I create a PHP(not .htaccess) redirect that incorporates both the examples above?

Would I use an add-on domain? Or would a parked domain be better?

*replace [dot] with .
#programming #301 #php #redirect
  • Hi evilbone,
    What's the difference between a PHP and .htaccess 301 redirect? Why would you prefer the PHP version? I want to redirect all the 'non www' pages on my site to their 'www' counterparts. Which way do you think I should use?

    What do you think is better, www or no www?

    Thanks evilbone!
  • @evilbone,
    Its pretty simple, its the same as a normal redirect accept you include and extra line before:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    header    ("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
    ?>

    The difference is the method.It's easier for me.This is difficult to answer because you haven't explained your situation sufficiently.You should decide this on your own. Use a coin toss if you can't decide.

    That code does take me to the new URL but doesn't load the same pages from the subdomain. See first example for what I mean.

    Were my questions in my first post not specific enough?:confused:

  • How about this?
    I use this to completely redirect to identical pages/directories

    $new_location = 'your-new-domain'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    Header( "Location: $new_location" );
    exit;
