My dilemma is that on my last rebuild of my site I
changed the .php files. This has created problems with links to my
site from other peoples sites as they have added the /index.html
extension to their links. What is the best/correct way of redirecting
them to my /index.php files?
In my opinion; the appropriate thing to do is throw a 300 level moved
permanently error. Now whether you redirect immediately or inform your
users as to the nature of the redirection is a matter of usability
preference. I think we're moving off the subject of web standards (or,
perhaps not as appropriate http codes are part of a standard). If you
would like to discuss it, contact me off list.
