PHP 301重定向链接列表

Question

I have an interesting situation. A site I was working on used to be in wordpress and there was a plugin called simple 301 redirects - what it did, was... create redirects for a list of pages that were hosted elsewhere...

EXAMPLE If I typed in, "http://www.example.com/specificPage" - it would redirect me to a landing page at another location- "http://subdomain.example.com/specificPage". I have a WHOLE list of these pages that need to have the redirect.

I know the basic one:

<?php 
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); 
header("Location: http://www.New-Website.com/"); 
?>

How would that work for a big long list of say 35 of these "unique" links? Would I have to create each of them and redirect them? Or can i create just one page, maybe in connection with the HTACCESS file, and a simple code to do it for me?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Having a SEO-agency background i can say: Do it with 35 lines in .htaccess and you will be happy with that.

We have had htaccess files with far more than 2.000 301-redirects in it from time to time and there is nothing better.

Hope, this will help...

[EDIT] Some demo code

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^specificPage http://subdomain.example.com/specificPage [R=301,L, NC]
RewriteRule ^otherSpecificPage http://subdomain.example.com/otherSpecificPage [R=301,L, NC]

In some cases - depends on your specific webserver - you need to write with a ^/

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^/specificPage http://subdomain.example.com/specificPage [R=301,L, NC]
RewriteRule ^/otherSpecificPage http://subdomain.example.com/otherSpecificPage [R=301,L, NC]
