    Okay, I wanted to permanently redirect a page back to my home page.

    So I've opened up the file (.php), and deleted all the content out of it, and replaced it with:

    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
    header("Location: http://www.xxxxx.com/index.php");
    exit();



    I wanted to do it this way rather than changing htaccess. It never worked. Does anyone know why?

    thanks
