Redirecting home page to a specific php page

[Ian_W]

Hi,

I am struggling to get the index.php page to display automatically as index.php?section=1,5,7,9 rather than just index.php

I have tried a

redirect permanent / [domain.com...]

- but this never goes anywhere :(

Any thoughts as to how I can acomplish this?

Thanks.

Try this in your .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.phpsection?section=1,5,7,9

I tried that at one point, but it didn't work - however have just put it into the httpd.conf, and we seem to be there - so thank you :)

Try putting this at the top of the index.php file:

<?
if (!$section) {header("Location: /index.php?section=1,5,7,9"); exit;}
echo ("You'll only see this if you have the right section! i.e. $section");
?>

isorg - thanks I think you have inadvertantly solved another query for me. .... goes away to try this for another idea :)
