i have a setup like that because some phpscript im usin needs to be in the same folder as my index.htm

Just wondered if there were any implications i might come across having a setup like that because its always going to be the index.htm that needs to be called not the index.php file.

J/W

No, you can have index.htm, index.html, index.shtml, index.php etc all in the same folder. One of the files has to be the first page that's called but you can control this with .htaccess...

DirectoryIndex index.htm, index.php

...so if index.htm is present that file will be used as the home page, if it's not there index.php will be used.

ahh right yeh thanks i understand

tip: also....html and .htm are default on most servers
