[PHP] 301 redirect returning 302 instead
Having a problem here trying to redirect some old pages.
I've recently noticed using a server header check that my 301 redirects in
PHP are returning 302 instead.
I'm using the following code:
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: newurl');
exit();
The header checker is returning this:
#1 Server Response: oldurl
HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Connection: close
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4
Location: newurl
Any reason why we're getting a 302 instead of a 301? This is keeping the
pages in Google instead of removing them and using the new location.
BTW, my server is lighttpd.

Stut: Flipping the headers doesn't work, unfortunately, running wget still shows a 302 being returned. Kris: You need both headers. Just giving the Location would give a 302, when a 301 is the goal. Just to add more info: We're running php as fastcgi under lighttpd. Doing a little searching I see that there is some weirdness with http headers when PHP is run as a CGI, but I can't seem to see any solutions out there. Obviously I can't be the ONLY person running this way, so there has to be a solution out there. -- Ian Evans Chairman & Executive Producer DigitalHit.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So the unwanted 302 is just lighttpd+php.

Re: [PHP] 301 redirect returning 302 instead
Still scratching my head on this one...
According to what I've read, when php is run as a CGI then a Status:
number text header should be set instead. Add to that the header docs on
the php site say that "The second special case is the "Location:" header.
Not only does it send this header back to the browser, but it also returns
a REDIRECT (302) status code to the browser unless some 3xx status code
has __already been set__."
Adding those two bits together, this code SHOULD work:
header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");
header('Location: newurl');
I've even tried using the other format:
header("Location: newurl",1,301);
No matter what, I get a 302 instead of a 301.

Chris,
I just posted this to php-internals in response to someone else, but this
tale of woe shows the problem:
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://...";);
exit();
produces a 302.
header("Location: http://...";);
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
exit();
produces a 302.
header("Location: http://...",false,301);
produces a 302 and, for good luck,
header("Location: http://...",true,301);
produces a 302.
Everything's producing a 302. So you can see the dilemma.

Just upgraded to 5.2.0 and alas, the 301/302 issue still exists. Guess I'll head off to bugs.php.net -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
