将整个网站重定向到PHP中新网站的主页

Question

Can anyone help me how to write a redirect in php. I want to redirect a website and all of it's pages to a new website's homepage. From the old website I don't want to redirect the ( www.oldwebsite.com/administrator/ ) page.

My old redirect was:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.newwebsite.ro");
?>

This was not good because when I clicked on ( www.oldwebsite.com/a/b ) it redirected me to ( www.newwebsite.ro/404error ) and I didn't want that.

How should I do it right?

Answer 1

You should use die() or exit() after header

header("Location: http://example.com/myOtherPage.php");
die();

Answer 2

You can use htaccess to redirect from old domain to new. Here is example:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^OLDDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://NEWDOMAIN.com [R=301,L]
