error in 301 permanent redirect
Question by asitha
i am using htaccess for 301 permanent redirect.
i have to make a redirect for bima.php to ge.php.so i wrote the below code in htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^bima.php?$ $1/ge.php [NC,R=301,L]
this works properly..whenever i put www.test.com/bima.php in url it will redirect to www.test.com/ge.php
the problem is i have to do a 301 redirect for ge.php also.that means whenever www.test.com/gen.php in url it will redirect to www.test.com/bima.php.
www.test.com/bima.php needs to redirect to www.test.com/gen.php and vice versa.
Any idea?or anyway to do this?

Your redirect rule
RewriteRule ^bima.php?$ $1/ge.php [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^ge.php?$ $1/bima.php [NC,R=301,L]
Is redirecting in infinite loop. Remove one of them.
No matter what type of logic you use, the redirection you are attempting will end of in loop at one time. So better avoid the need of such requirement.
Here is a PHP Solution
File: ge.php
if($_SESSION['redirected']['from'] != 'bima.php') {
header("location: bima.php");
$_SESSION['redirected']['from'] = 'ge.php';
exit;
}
File: bima.php
if($_SESSION['redirected']['from'] != 'ge.php') {
header("location: ge.php");
$_SESSION['redirected']['from'] = 'ge.php';
exit;
}
