WRONG. He specifically said please only reply if you know how. Obviously
you do not.

To do an HTTP/1.1 *301 Permanent Redirect* not a *302 Found* Redirect as
you described, that code would need to be altered to:

$article = $_REQUEST['i'];
// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: ' . $url);
