用绝对URL处理〜600个永久重定向的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I have around 600 old URLs in this format:

http://www.example.com?articlename.random-numbers.html

which I want to redirect to the new format:

http://www.example.com?p=XXX (article number)

There is no correlation between the old and new URLs that I can use to create a common rule. I just have a list of the URL mapping. The old URLs will not exist any more, if that matters.

Can I use .htaccess or something else for this, or will I have to create my own solution in PHP?

Answer 1

I suggest handling this at the server (Apache) level using an .htaccess file.

Because the old URLs will not exist anymore, you should set these up as HTTP Status Code 301 redirects, as they indicate a permanent move: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_301

In your .htaccess file, for every article, create a line as follows:

Redirect 301 /?articlename.random-numbers.html http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=XXX

Your .htaccess file should sit at the root of your website.

Because there is no correlation between the old and new URLs that you can use to create a common rule, having a ~600 line .htaccess file is your best bet. (If there was some correlation, you could use Apache's mod_rewrite module to script this task.)
