HTTP 301 redirects are a popular method for taking website visitors and redirecting them to the homepage of another domain with the same or similar idea/content. This is not only more user-friendly but also helps increase search traffic and make sure that users don’t get confused. For more information on using HTTP 301 redirects, be sure to check out our post on the subject. How to Redirect Old Domain to New Domain Using htaccess Redirect. Where you can learn about how to properly create an HTTP 301 redirect rule in htaccess or PHP.

How to Make a Redirect in PHP

You can simply use the PHP header() function to redirect a user to a different page. To redirect 301 in PHP, you’ll first need to write your header() function, starting with header().

Then, within the parentheses, you’ll define the Location response-header field with the URL or file name you wish to redirect users and search engines to. Supported files include PHP, HTML, Python, CGI, Perl, or compiled CGI programs. So your header function might look something like this:

The following PHP code will redirect a user from a page to an alternate destination. A link to that destination can be placed on any web page and when clicked, the browser will navigate to the alternate URL.

<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/another-page.php");
exit();
?>

After the semicolon, you’ll have to add one last function: either the die() or exit() function. Without either of these functions, search engine crawlers or bots can ignore the header function and continue processing the page you wanted to redirect away from.

Now let’s try an example of Permanent 301 redirect

Example:

<?php
//* Permanently redirect page
header("Location: new_page.php",TRUE,301);
?>

Now let’s try an example of Simple 301 redirect

Example:

<?php
header("Location: https://softhunt.net", true, 301);
exit();
?>
