Why do you need this? Most of the I have read recommend the opposite, redirecting non-www visitors to www. – Ilian Iliev Oct 11 '10 at 11:26
From SEO point of view, any one of them ie either www -> non www or vice versa is required. – articlestack Oct 11 '10 at 12:16

This is very simple using .htaccess file.

You just need to place following lines in your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You would have to place .htaccess file on root of your site.
