301 redirects php to html

Question

I have had a look around and cant seem to find an answer for my question.

I have a .htaccess file where I have listed all my 301 redirects for the website www.rubbusa.com

The file has been uploaded with no errors but only the PDF files are redirecting, the php files are not.

Can PHP file not be redirected using a .htaccess file? or is it written in a certain way?

I did read that you can add a line of redirect code in a php page but these pages do not exist anymore.

Please see below a little sample of the .htaccess file

Thank you all for your support.

Answer 1

To 301 redirect from a .php file you need to send the correct headers:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.New-Website.com");
?>
