301 redirect returning 302 instead

Having a problem here trying to redirect some old pages. I've recently noticed using a server header check that my 301 redirects in PHP are returning 302 instead. I'm using the following code: header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently'); header('Location: newurl'); exit(); The header checker is returning this: #1 Server Response: oldurl HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.0 302 Found Connection: close X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4 Location: newurl Any reason why we're getting a 302 instead of a 301? This is keeping the pages in Google instead of removing them and using the new location. BTW, my server is lighttpd. -- Ian Evans Chairman & Executive Producer DigitalHit.com
