aebstract Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't know what subject to use really, but here goes my issue I'm about to face. I have a website that uses index.php as the base file which is normal.. So when you go to lalala.com index.php is the default file that runs. Well, I'm needing to introduce a splash page to this lalala.com so that the user clicks to enter one of two locations. One of the locations should default back to that index.php and the other will be something like lalala.com/lala/. Is there a way to force something other than index.php as the default? Possibly a "splash.php" or something? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145817-solved-force-something-besides-indexphp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevesgodnroc Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 you could put in a header based redirect on your main landing index.php to for the loading of any other page you specify and then take user input to decide wheter to show which page to show <?php $go = "Location: ".$url; header($go); ?> Just remember that you cannot have any output before the header($go); line or it will not work also you may think about incorporating a cookie that checks if the user has already been to the page and decided whether or not they want to see you spash page or not and act accordingly Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145817-solved-force-something-besides-indexphp/#findComment-765670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aebstract Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 works perfect, ended up putting this in my .htaccess: DirectoryIndex /splash/index.html /splash/index.php index.pl index.php index.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145817-solved-force-something-besides-indexphp/#findComment-766114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
