How make redirection by .htaccess file

This article is provided as a courtesy. Installing, configuring, and troubleshooting third-party applications is outside the scope of support provided by (mt) Media Temple. Please take a moment to review the Statement of Support.
Instructions

1. Create an empty text file using a text editor such as notepad, and save it as htaccess.txt.

NOTE:

The reason you should save the file as htaccess.txt is because many operating systems and FTP applications are unable to read or view .htaccess files by default. Once uploaded to the server you can rename the file to .htaccess.

2. Edit the contents of the file. Check the following examples:

301 (Permanent) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different URL on a permanent basis. This is the most common type of redirect and is useful in most situations. In this example, we are redirecting to the "mt-example.com" domain:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/

302 (Temporary) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different temporary URL. This is useful for SEO purposes when you have a temporary landing page and plan to switch back to your main landing page at a later date:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 302 / http://mt-example.com/

 Redirect index.html to a specific subfolder:

# This allows you to redirect index.html to a specific subfolder
Redirect /index.html http://example.com/newdirectory/

 Redirect to a specific index page:

# Provide Specific Index Page (Set the default handler)
DirectoryIndex index.html

Part 1 - How do I redirect all links for www.example.com to example.com ?

Create a 301 redirect forcing all http requests to use either www.example.com or example.com:

    Example 1 - Redirect example.com to www.example.com:

            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

    Example 2 - Redirect www.example.com to example.com:

            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
            RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/" [R=301,L]

   Example 3 - Redirect https to http

            RewriteEngine On
           RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
           RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

  Example 4 -Redirect http to https
       
          RewriteEngine on
          RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
          RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

 Example 5 -Redirect from http://domain.com/index.php to http://www.domain.com/

         RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php
         RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [L,R=301]

Example 6 Create 404 Page

        ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL

Data Encoding: A Guide to UTF-8 for PHP and MySQL As a MySQL or PHP developer, once you step beyond the comfortable confines of English-only character sets, you quickly find yourself entangled in the wonderfully wacky world of UTF-8. On a previous job, we began running into data encoding issues when displaying bios of artists from all over the world. It soon became apparent that there were problems with the stored data, as sometimes the data was correctly encoded and sometimes it was not. This led programmers to implement a hodge-podge of patches, sometimes with JavaScript, sometimes with HTML charset meta tags, sometimes with PHP, and soon. Soon, we ended up with a list of 600,000 artist bios with double- or triple encoded information, with data being stored in different ways depending on who programmed the feature or implemented the patch. A classical technical rat’s nest.Indeed, navigating through UTF-8 related data encoding issues can be a frustrating and hair-pul...

How To Create Shortcodes In WordPress

We can create own shortcode by using its predified hooks add_shortcode( 'hello-world', 'techsudhir_hello_world_shortcode' ); 1.
