Outputting data as default

[m4tt]

I have a slight problem that I can't come up with an answer for. I have set up a cms that works great however it works based on the following

www.yoursite.com/?p=home
www.yoursite.com/?p=services

So that the navigation calls up the relevant page. However when I type:

www.yoursite.com - It comes up with no data because none has been called...

Does anyone know how to set it up so if you go to

www.yoursite.com it goes to say the default home page?

Thanks in advance!

Also can anyone help with changing /?p=home ot a permalink:
/home/
/services/

etc?

Here is the code in the index.php:

<?
include("/includes/config.php");
include("/library/config.php");
include("/library/opendb.php");

$pagename=$_POST['p'];
$query=" SELECT * FROM pages WHERE pagename = '{$_GET['p']}'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_num_rows($result);

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$id=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
$pagename=mysql_result($result,$i,"pagename");
$content=mysql_result($result,$i,"content");
?>

<?php

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$content = stripslashes($content);
}
?>
<? echo "$content"?>

<?
++$i;
}
?>

Hi, does your server run apache? If so, mod_rewrite can do all that for you.

Yeah, it does but I am not sure how to use mod rewrite? Are you able to assist?

Good luck
