Re: [PHP] Using index.php instead of index.html
The only security consideration here is whether you want to advertise the fact that you're using PHP or not. If not: DirectoryIndex index.html AddType application/x-httpd-php .html This is OK if most/all your pages use PHP. Otherwise, normal html gets parsed as well with unnecessary performance costs. Security through obscurity is not a good standalone policy, but every little bit can help. Michael On Wed, 17 Jul 2002, Mark Gallagher wrote: Sailom wrote: I am a novice on PHP and web programming.
