Redirect visitors to another page using PHP

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Redirection in PHP can be done using the header () function. To setup a simple redirect, simply create an index.php file in the directory you wish to redirect from with the following content:

<?php header("Location: http://www.redirect.com/"); ?>

Where "http://www.redirect.com/" is the URL you wish the users to be redirected too. This can also be a file, like so:

<?php header("Location: directory/file.php"); ?>

Files can be of anytime including html, python, php, cgi, perl , and compiled cgi programs.

Execute PHP code as .htm or .html

In your .htaccess file insert this line of code:

addhandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

Spiders and Bots .htaccess Ban List

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

There will always be rogues that get through or new and better bots. You can’t block all of them but you CAN keep your server load down and your access streamlined to your target audience. For instance putting this in an .htaccess file will block a good amount:
