PHP 5, 301 redirects

[mrb1972]

Hi,

 

I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, I recently moved my site to a new server running php 5, which has caused a problem with 301 redirect.

 

Instead of automatically redirecting like it use to i now get a message:

 

"OK

 

The document has moved here."

 

here being the link to the new url..

 

this didnt happen on the old server it just redirected automatically, Im told its PHP5 thing!!, my site uses this function

 

function redirectIfWrongURL($correcturl) {
    global $vchSiteUrl;
/* does a 301 redirect to the correct URL if the actual URL is different */
    $actualurl = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST"])) {
        $actualurl ='http://'. $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST"] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    }
    if ($correcturl != $actualurl) {
        header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
        header("Location: " . $correcturl);
        echo '<br>This page has moved to <a href="' . $correcturl . '">' . $correcturl . '</a><br />Old URL: ' . $actualurl."<br />\n";;
        //print_r($_POST);
        exit();
    }
}

 

Anyone have any idea?

 

thanks

try this?

echo "<br>This page has moved to <a href=".$correcturl.">" . $correcturl . "</a><br />Old URL: " . $actualurl."<br />\n";

I havent tried your suggestion yet, but i did get it working by changing

 

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

to

header('Status: 301 Moved Permanently');

 

I dont know if this is the correct fix, but it seems to work

are you using header() to redirect?
