Hi All,
It's been a while since I created a new directory on my domain (call it my/domain/dir3). I have others, each containing a index.php (dir1/index.php - dir2/index.php), each index is called if the directory URL is called (thus a URL of my/domain/dir1 will call my/domain/dir1.index.php).
No the embarrasing part ... I've completely forgotten how I did this! ... blank .... nothing ... no recollection. Please somebody enlighten me.
If you use Apache, it does this automatically. You can tweak the settings in httpd.conf though.
Well if it's a standard Apache/PHP installation then putting an index.php file in the directory would make it the default page in a directory.
Oh, if you want a different file to be the index. Create a .htaccess file in the directory and enter this:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php something.php
Replace something.php with the file you want and presto ;). You can't have two indexes.
If index.php is seen by Apache as the default index file, my/domain/dir1/ will see my/domain/dir1/index.php. If you want something more complex, You'll need mod_rewrite.
