php google question

[scorpion]

How would google index this page? index.php

<?php

header("Location: redirect URL");

?>

Will google index the ultimate redirect or is it more like javascript, namely it can't understand it at all.

It'll understand it. PHP is server-side but, I'm not sure it will like it....

Is there a php eqivalent to a 302, moved permanently?

[Nick_W]

You could send that using header() but I'm not sure of the exact syntax for 301's

Better off with .htaccess

There is no php eqivalent to a 302, moved permanently but there is a way to send such a HTTP message using php:

<?php 
 header('HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently'); 
 header("Location: redirect URL");  
?>

Not only does it [the Location header] 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.
