Re-directing

[knystrom18]

Hey, I have a flash object which I cannot edit which links to a page no longer in existence.If I create a page with the name the flash object is looking for, can I put a php redirect in there to bring the user to the intended page?Is there another method that will do this better/more effectively?Thanks,- K

You could also use an Apache rewrite rule, in an .htaccess or .conf file.If the file you need is 'newflash.php', and the requested file is 'oldflash.php', something similar to the following should work:

RewriteEngine  onRewriteRule    ^oldflash\.php$  newflash.php

maybe thisheader("Location:http://www.abc.com");

Got it. It's all good and it's re-directing fine. I had to use a meta re-direct for some reason though. PHP wouldn't do anything.

are you using header? Did you make sure no content is outputted by the page before the redirect?
