want to switch hom page from index.html to index.php

If you want to have both index.html and index.php but you want index.php to be the default and it isn't, do this:

create an .htaccess file in your public_html folder (or in whatever folder you want this to occur in) and make its contents:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

That's just an example - you can leave out whatever you want to leave out. Just use DirectoryIndex to specify the preferred index to pull first. The first on the list should be index.php. You can add others to the list as well like index.htm, home.htm, default.htm.


Now, keep this in mind... if by default your server pulls index.html first and you want to use this method to pull index.php first in the event that both files exist in a directory, this acts recursively. So, if you have a subdirectory that you serve other content from and it has an index.php and an index.html and you wish for index.html to take precendence in that subdirectory, you'll have to add another .htaccess in there to change it back.
