Regarding Julian's Option 2:

If you really want 301 moved permanently instead of 302 found, you need to send the 301 header redirection code in PHP. PHP has its own ideas about your intention, and its assumption is that you really want a 302 instead of a 301.

You may also want to consider whether you want HTTP or HTTPS, but if you're redirecting within the same domain, that should happen automatically.

<?php
$loc = 'Location: /health/hdetails.php';
if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) $loc .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"] . " 301 Moved Permanently"); 
header($loc);

Open in new window

You might be able to do it this way (I've never tested it)

<?php
$loc = 'Location: /health/hdetails.php';
if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) $loc .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header($loc,TRUE,301);

Open in new window

The important difference between a 301 and a 302 will appear when you look at the SEO statistics.

For anyone coming to this question in the future, the accepted solution is missing a question-mark before the query string in Option 2.
