He specifically said please only reply if you know how. Obviously you do not. To do an HTTP/1.1 *301 Permanent Redirect* not a *302 Found* Redirect as you described, that code would need to be altered to: $article = $_REQUEST['i']; // some validation of $article if necessary $url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i); header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently'); header('Location: ' . $url); Jasper -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
