URL Redirect with PHP

To create a url redirect with a simple php script.

• Go into the directory where you want to place the redirect. (Normally your html folder)

cd /var/www/html

• Create index.php file

touch index.php

• Edit the file with whatever text editor you prefer. (I use nano, as i find it easier to use)

nano index.php

• Use the script below. Of course change the URL to wherever you want it to go.

<?php

//\* This is this basic code needs for a url redirect \* //

header( 'Location: http://google.co.uk/' ) ;

?>

You will have to use the full URL, if you don’t the redirect will not work**

Once you have saved and exited, you will be able to browser to your domain and you will see that you have been redirected to Google UK
