Ok. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a complete idiot when it comes to PHP and uploading files to the server. So if anyone can help me with the following question I'd greatly appreciate it.

Let's say I have a php redirect script. I want to redirect traffic from mysite1.c0m ====> mysite2.c0m

I create a file on my server called redirect.php within the public_html folder of the domain i want to use.

Is this right? I am completely confused. My apologies in advance for a retarded question

Your question isn't "retarded". Glad to hear you're diving in with both feet. There are multiple ways to do what you want to do. If you want to redirect all traffic from mysite1.c0m to mysite2.c0m, then one way to do this with PHP is to put a file called index.php in the public_html directory of mysite1.c0m that contains the following:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.mysite2.c0m");
?>

Thanks for the reply and the support! I really appreciate it

Glad to help. Good luck!

Note that using header(newuri) would send a 302 response to the useragent

you should be sending a 301 Permanent Redirect
