How do I Redirect a URL in PHP using .htaccess?

Question

How do I redirect a URL in PHP? If I use .htaccess to redirect, then it's asking me for authentication (username & password). I want to redirect to a URL without any authentication. Is it possible in PHP? I don't want to use headers or meta tags or window.location to redirect. Is there any other way is possible?

This is not making much sense yet. Can you describe in detail what exactly you want to do? And what kind of authentication comes in at what point? — Pekka

PHP and Htaccess are different. It is not possible to answer this question as it stands. Pick either PHP and use header() or htaccess and Redirect example.com example.com/page [R=301] — David Yell

My guess is that you perhaps copy/pasted some code into your .htaccess file has basic authentication?

You only need one line to do that in .htaccess

Redirect 301 /oldpath http://sitecom/newpath
