--- End code ---


Cross your fingers and hope it works. :D

Above is the best solution, you will not loose traffic either.

I was hoping to know if it worked. lol

MrMike:
Yep, using header() is a better, cleaner way to do it.

The HTML stuff was leftover from an earlier incanation- we were going to print out a message about the site changeover with some additional links and info, but we dropped that idea.

--- Code: ---header('Location: ' . $new_url);
--- End code ---

MrMike:
I may play with this and see if I can get it to go.  :D

EDIT: I fiddled with this for a while but couldn't get it going. It looks like it should work.

IchBin™:
Did you have "RewriteEngine On"  set? Either way, I guess it doesn't matter since you are up and working. :)
