I've got 8 filenames, within the same domain, that have changed, and I need to do 301's in my .htaccess from the old files to the new files.
I've managed to come across this code below, but how do I specify the old filename and the new filename please?
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: [domain...]
header("Connection: close");
?>
Any help appreciated.

redirect 301 /oldfile.htm ht*p://www.yoursite.com/newfile.php
Just a separate line like that for each filename being redirected, making sure the old file is written as a relative URL. I've never done this with PHP.
(Obviously, replace the asterisk with a "t".)
Many thanks for that.
I'm a little new to this, is it ok to do a 301 with php please?
Especially as far as Mr Google and Mrs Yahoo etc are concerned.

yes, as long as it is a permanent move then that is the appropriate code to use.

Me too. I understood the standard redirect method was with .htaccess. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable would be able to outline the pros and cons. Sorry I can't be more expansive.
