301 Redirects File

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Am having a "can't see the wood for the trees" moment

I have a php redirect file which contains my URLs, like so:

return [	
	'/shop/' => '/products/',
];

I then have a functions file which contains:

function 301_redirects(){
    $redirects = include __DIR__ . '/redirects.php';

    if (isset($redirects[$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']])) {
        header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
        header('location: ' . $redirects[$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']]);
        exit;
    }

    if (isset($redirects[rtrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/')])) {
        header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
        header('location: ' . $redirects[rtrim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/')]);
        exit;
    }
										
}

If the URL is https://www.mydomain.com/shop then the redirect won't work

If the URL is https://www.mydomain.com/shop/ then the redirect works

What am I missing? 

Thanks

The redirect is configured for /shop/. With the trailing slash.

Do you really have to do this with PHP? Setting up the redirect with the web server is almost definitely going to be better, and faster, and more efficient, and even simpler. I say this not just because your redirect function there isn't quite correct.

I thought adding both functions would cater for trailing slash and non-trailing slash

You account for trailing slashes in the request URI only. You'll test with and without the slash, but the map only has the one version. Which is fine as long as you think about which version...

Your function does not account for two important things: the request URI starting with the path (and not being only the path), and a potential query string. Slash problem aside, /shop/foo and /shop?bar will both fail to redirect.
