index page

[toomyg]

On my site here
http://tomswebplace.dyndns.org/index.htm but I want to have it go right to my forum here
http://tomswebplace.dyndns.org/index.php is there a piece of code or something I can do to make it if someone goes to the index.htm it goes right to the index.php page like an automatic redirector or something? I have seem it on other site.


Thanks Tom

Keeping in mind your webserver may not like having two index files,

Add this to your head block at the top,

< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://tomswebplace.dyndns.org/index.php"/>
(take that extra space out)

That should redirect from index.htm to index.php

Thanks it works and my index.htm and index.php are with the same folder.

I'm a bit tired right now to actually put together the actual code, but you can do a url rewrite from the htm page to the php page with htaccess

I never mess wit those files but I have heard about editing them.

just remove the index.htm and it will go to index.php when someone goes to yoru site, you can also use default.php

Perkster's solution is probably easiest.
