Hey I noticed (Not that I really bothered to look) Facebook uses home.php so my question is is that the same things as index.php?

I never noticed that they have used index |

I never noticed that they have used index It's probable that they use a rewrite rule to map both requests to a single file. As it stands though, file names are arbitrary and hold no meaning until you put meaning to them. By default Apache looks for index.html, for example. When you install PHP you generally configure Apache to then look for index.php as well. There's nothing saying you cannot tell Apache to look for home.php. Take a look at the DirectoryIndex directive for more information. |

Apache by default results to index.php. You can change it to use any file when navigating to a directory with no file specified. Facebook just uses home.php as theirs, and their index.php file just redirects to home.php.
index.php:<?php
header('Location: home.php');
?>
And by setting the default index file to home.php, accessing facebook.com/ leads to facebook.com/home.php
Le simple.
