Hi, Farzan Redirecting is something you can do in a way the user doesn't see anything (I call them server-side redirects) and in a way the user get's informed that the url has changed (I call them client-side redirects). What I mean with server-side (mostly called internal redirects) is if the user requests a page, you can do stuff with mod_rewrite (in Apache) or some equal webserver-module to call another file than requested. The user will not get any notice about that. Client-side redirects can be done using the HTTP-header (see list-of-http-status<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#3xx_Redirection>), JavaScript (please think also about a non-js solution) and by using a HTML-Meta tag <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh>. In my opinion the best way to do a redirect, where the user gets noticed about, is the HTTP-header. This can be set f.e by your webserver or by a php-script. Example for PHP-script: header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com"; ); As far as I know, this is the only way to let other services (f.e. a search-engine) know that this page has been moved permanently (or temporarily) to another url. That's the reason why I use the header-command (incl. setting the HTTP-Status explicitly). If you don't set the HTTP-header, it will be added (by PHP or your webserver). In my case, I use PHP 5.4 and nginx 1.2.1, the header-code 302 is added if I don't set it. May there are more ways to set redirects, but this are the one I know of.
