The Best Redirect Method?

Well guys I have a question. But first I will set up the scenario. I have a domain and in its root is a folder called forum. That is were I have Vbulletin installed. Now google has indexed my pages Using the root domain. I used to use the HTML method for redirection.

HTML Code:

<HEAD><meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://mydomain.com/forum"></HEAD>

But it was clunky and took longer to load than I wanted. So I am now trying the php way.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
header( 'Location: /forum' ) ;
?>

It seems faster and doesn't flicker Not so clunky.

Now for the question did I do the right thing? What method is preferred? Will changing it to this hurt my SEO? or current ranking in google? Will it confuse google?

Is the htaccese method the best over all?
