PHP index question

[Ashley]

I'm kind of new to PHP. I wanted to know how to get my site to open in it's original url ie: http://blah4site.com/name instead of http://blah4site.com/name/index.php or having a slpash page and then going into the http://blah4site.com/name/index.php, when someone first visits the site. I hope this isn't too confusing. Here is an example site: click See how her's opens to the original url and then if you hover over 'main' it takes you to http://www.lunaestas.com/savvy/index.php. So this must happen somewhere within the php file? How do I do this?

[PoA]

Try to put it in .htaccess file.

Redirect /name/index.php http://blah4site.com/name

It's not tested yet. Please let me know the results.

Put what in the .htaccess?

[PoA]

Sorry did not make clear. Put the below code in .htaccess

Redirect /name/index.php http://blah4site.com/name

[Ashley]

I tried it this way Redirect /name/ http://blah4site.com/name/index.php and I got redirection URL has exceeded its limit and said it may be caused by cookies that are being blocked. Nothing happened with the code the other way.

[PoA]

Try alternative code.

put the below code in top of index.php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/name/index.php"){
	header("Location: http://blah4site.com/name/");
}

[Ashley]

nope, didn't do anything.
