Drupal

Two years back I created a basic module toggle_www to toggle the "www" part of your Drupal website, taking the user the correct requested page. In other words, redirect users from http://www.example.com/some/deep/page to http://example.com/some/deep/page or vice-versa. However, killes suggested to take it off, because the same functionality could be achieved using some redirect directives in .htaccess. Being new in the developer community at that time, upon a short thought I took the project page off.

However, users using IIS, or whose servers don't allow .htaccess files - just like this blog's host HCoop.net does(they have their own tool Domtool), need a separate solution if they want to manage the above said. So before I revive the toggle_www module for Drupal 6.x, some overview how we redirect using PHP's header() function. This is rather some easy PHP stuff, with some aspects covered.
