I’m planning on adding the possibility of merging two objects. I want to let Google/links know that I’ve moved the content to another URL. The way to go is to add the following to the .htaccess

redirectMatch 301 /oldurl /newurl

However, most best practice recommendations say that I shouldn’t write on .htaccess, because it has security risks. Is there any other option to do it automatically? If this is the only option, what mode would you use and which other security advise would you give?

I’m using PHP with Symfony, although this is a broad question.

thanks!

    In your error404 action you could recognize old URL and redirect them to the new one. Return 404 for all the other URLs.
