Hello all! How would it affect my site if i were to change index.html over to index.php? and if i delete index.html is this bad or should i set index.html to redirect to index.php?
Any ideas?
Thankyou again. Steve.

There should be minimal or no impact. You make sure that index.php is served up as the default page for a request of http://www.example.com/ Yes, a redirect helps for those who have the old page bookmarked, or bots requesting the old page.

You can also avoid changing the name while still having a php page by adding this to a file called .htaccess in your web directory (or the apache configuration file httpd.conf)if you're using apache:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
Now any php tags in all html files will be processed. Note that you'll have to restart apache if you edit httpd.conf (also make a backup first if you do edit it ;)
