how to make "main.php3" the start page?

[sherif]

How can I make a file called "main.php3" as the start page. I mean when the user types in only the domain name,for example http://www.mywebsite.com , he should be directed to main.php3 not to index.html (as usual).
Thanks in advance

If this is running on Apache you can put a file called .htaccess in the directory with the text in.

DirectoryIndex main.php3

---

Or

You could have the file index.php with the text:

<? header("Location: main.php3"); ?>
