Re: Question about HTTP 301 permanent redirects

Hi Actually you can get away with this: header("Location: $url",301); This will let php generate the proper headers Also, and I stress this point (again and again), the http specification clearly states that location headers need to have a *fully qualified url* not a site-specific one. Failure to do so puts the proper working of your site in the hands of the end user's browser who may very well fail to redirect because he doesn't find http://yourpage.php. (some browser do handle this correctly, but that's besides the point).
