[TYPO3-dev] header(location:url) sends 302?

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Steffen,

PHP always outputs a 302 header by default on a 'Location:' redirect.

This will do the trick:

header('HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: '.$uri);
header('Connection: close');

Or if you use PHP >= 4.3 you can use:

header('Location: '.$uri, true, 301);

Best regards,

Oliver
