How Do I Set up my homepage?

So I have developed a website with the main page named as home.php. I have also got a domain name and hosting from Godaddy. What I want to know is that how do i tell my site to display the home.php as the开发者_开发技巧 homepage?

I want that when the user goes to example.com -- home.php should be presented, and not example.com/home.php.

thanks.

just rename your home.php to index.php

Name the file index.php and it will work

You're options:

• Rename you're file to index.php
• Rename you're file to default.php
• Do a iFrame
• Do a php redirect: header("Location: home.php");
• You could do a .htaccess redirect: DirectoryIndex home.php

I would choose #1 or #2!

If you choose to do an iFrame you would have to "break out" to enable the back button in the browser.

If you choose to do a redirect with php you will waste server resources.

.htaccess way: ...Don't know what's bad.

you can:

• rename home.php to index.php
• create index.php with content

<?php header('Location: home.php');?>

But, I don't recommend option #2 as it generate another useless HTTP request.
