Redirecting to home (index.php) when any page is accessed.

[akshay]

Hello.

 

I was wondering in case I've to switch my site to "maintenance mode", what do I do either with PHP / .htaccess

such that any page browsed on my site say http://mysite.web/dir/file.ext redirects to http://mysite.web/maintainence.php or simply /index.php ?

 

Because, for sure I'm not going to edit each page / directory and add header code.

 

I just want to redirect the visitor to "under maintenance" page or home page (that reads "under maintenance") when he/she accesses any page/directory.

 

 

Thank you

Akshay

I would use .htaccess.

The quickest way I do a redirect is on the page i want to direct away from I use:

 

header("location: ./index");

header("location: ./index");

You would do that on every page?

I misread it.

 

 

I thought A page

just use header()...

 

example:

 

Header("Location: index.php");

 

anytime you have that on a page. it will always redirect you, so if you have a main header.php on your site add near top under session.

 

Bam your done, when your done updating to go back live just comment it out.
