301 non-www to www solution?

Anybody see anything wrong with it?

Anybody see anything wrong with this 301 solution for resolving yourdomin.com to www.yourdomain.com

This is in the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) [yoursite.com...] [R=301,L]

Looks good to me. I'm doing almost the exact same thing, and it works fine:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.net
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [mydomain.net...] [R=301,L]

I'm using pretty much the same code and it works just fine. However, if you already have a non-www and www version of your site in the SE's it will take them a while to update.

On a similar note ... does anybody know how I can redirect www.example.com/index.php -> www.example.com/ because everything I've tried fails. :(

Well you can always put a bit of code in your index.php that checks $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] first and if it has index.php issue the following headers
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
header("Connection: close");
