Re: [amb29] Browser won't recognize .php extension for index page
Hi Anna,
Asking your host is the best first step. But depending on your hosting setup, some let you change some of the settings yourself with .htaccess files. If your host allows this the following directives let you setup index.php as a default file (followed by index.html if there is no index.php):
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Next, it is also often possible to have your web server treat other files (such as .html) as php even if they don't have the extension. There's more info about that here: http://www.google.com/search?q=html+files+as+php
But to start, you're probably better off to stick with .php for php and .html for HTML and get the server configured properly to show index.php files by default.
Hope that helps!
