.htaccess file is not recognized by PHP website

I want to redirect 

 http://mywebsite.com/

to 

 http://www.mywebsite.com/

I want to highlight that these are 2 different pages, in non www version,we have thank you message only, but www version is the actual page we wanted to show it to customer.

Problem is that when I am trying to use .htaccess file through FTP, it is not recognizing the .htaccess file.

This website is made up on PHP. I tried meta tags redirection too, which result in blank page as it have default tags in all page.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank You.

If .htaccess is not an option you can do the redirect in PHP:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.mrquickwhip.com.au/", true, 301);
?>

.htaccess is not a feature of PHP. it is a feature of Apache http server. so, options are:

  1. the host doesn't use Apache (and uses nginx — headers actually confirm this version)
  2. even if it Apache, htaccess parsing is disabled.

In both cases, you should contact server administrators for support
