PHP REDIRECT 301, php header 301

PHP REDIRECT 301, php header 301Edit

Andrzej Jeziorski · 431 user posts · 26 user answers

To make 301 redirect in php you need to use the code below (function: header()): 
 
<code><?php 
 
header('Location: http://path-of-power.com/php-redirect-301',true,301); 
exit; 
 
?></code> 
 
or (better to use, because you don't need to put {} (brackets) when it's only 1 instruction after IF, ELSE) 
 
<code><?php 
 
exit(header('Location: http://path-of-power.com/php-redirect-301',true,301)); 
 
 
?></code> 
 
<div class='l'><div class='hr1 ar' style='width:300px;'></div></div> 
 
<code>header() Send a raw HTTP header 
 
void header ( string $string [, bool $replace = true [, int $http_response_code ]] ) 
header() is used to send a raw HTTP header. See the ? HTTP/1.1 specification for more information on HTTP headers. 
 
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file. 
 
<html> 
<?php 
/* This will give an error. Note the output 
 * above, which is before the header() call */ 
header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); 
?></code>

<dotNetFollower> Hello!Nice post! I'd like to note that there are at least two more ways to make the redirect,
especially if headers are already sent: Meta refresh and JavaScript redirect. I described them wider
in my article here - PHP: Redirection Overview.Thank you!
<AndyPSV> http://path-of-power.com/php-engine-framework-multilingual-friendly-urls-templates-with-modules,399
<AndyPSV> fixed, thanks
<Pac-Man> header('Location: http://path-of-power.com/php-redirect-301' ,true, 301);Sorry, this way...
without the ' at the end.
<Pac-Man> header('Location: http://path-of-power.com/php-redirect-301' ,true, 301');That's the correct
way. – Andrzej Jeziorski 2 months ago · Reply
