Redirect Question

Hello,
There are a number of links on the internet to our old website (made with php). I need those out-of-date links to be directed toward our new site. For example, a link to our old Update page goes to...

http://www.blahblahblah.com/information.php?info_id=3&updates

I now need that old link to be redirected to our new Update page on DiscountAsp.NET. It should now be directed to...

http://www.blahblahblah.com/t-Updates.aspx

How can I do this? I have several old pages I need redirect. Thanks for any tips you may have.

 

You can handle the request by a redirect within information.php i.e whenever the user requests for this page(information.php),you can redirect him to the t-Updates.aspx .

Have something like
<?php
header('Location: /t-Updates.aspx'); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

in your information.php

Worked perfectly! Thanks much.

 

OK, what if I want to distinguish within a certain php page and redirect from there?

For example, if Ithe following link...
http://www.blahblahblah.com/information.php?info_id=3&amp;updates

I wantit tobe directed to an aspx page...
http://www.blahblahblah.com/t-Updates.aspx


But nowI also have...
http://www.blahblahblah.com/information.php?info_id=4&amp;demo

And I want this one tobe directedto another aspx page...
http://www.blahblahblah.com/t-Demo.aspx

The question is: what code would I put in the 'information.php' page todistinguish between the two and redirect each link properly?
Thanks.

 

Try something like this to read the info_id variable:


<?php
if ($info_id == "3") {
header("Location: /t-Updates.aspx");
} elseif ($info_id == "4") {
header("Location: /t-Demo.aspx");
} else {
header("Location: /xxxxxx.aspx");
}


exit;
?>


The "else" is in there to do a redirect on a request that does not include a variable.
