    I am using a domain from last 1 year and its having good link popularity and also indexed my search engine.

    now i am having a new domain i want that visitor to get view my website frm new domain.

    which redirection method should i use , so that its good for SEO point of view and SEs tansfer my linkpopularity to my new domain and index it fast.
    i new website is hosted on different machine with different IP.

    Should i go for 301 with htaccess or should i write this simple code on my index.php file of my old website.

    <?
    Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
    Header( "Location: http://www.newdomain.com" );
    ?>

    And one last thing for how many days i hav to hav this redirection code there so that SEs replace my old domain with new domain.

    Please sugest.

    It would be better if you create a .htaccess file.

    Yep, you need to create or locate a .htaccess file on your server. Your .htaccess file will give search engine robots instructions on security and redirects.
