301 Redirect from subdomains to folder structure

[shawnmullaly]

My website structure is going to change from subdomains to a folder structure. It was [sub.example.com...] and i want it http://www.example.com/sub.

I've read a lot about 301's tonight and haven't seen a solid example showing how go from subdomains to folders. Can someone help me out?

My website is coded in PHP and uses apache. Any help would be great.

What have you tried so far?

There are many example threads [google.com...] to get you started.

I'm good! The examples on this website were great. I just had to add the following line to my index:

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

You'll need another line to specify the redirect target/destination.

That is one way, but it can also be done using .htaccess and that method does not rely on there being a physical file on the server.
