File structure

[pennelldj]

Hi
Can anyone help me. I have seen a website and seen that in its file structure it doesn't use index.htm just uses the / for example a link might be:

www.anothersite.com/drilldown/

How is this being done? forgive my nievaty but I was always used to using index as the first file in a sub-root

Any advice? thanks

Hi Darren

This is rather simple.

The way to do it is to use a file called .htaccess. It's called the re-write rule.

Have a look at this site: .htaccess tricks and tips.. part two: url rewriting with mod rewrite.

It has some great tips and tutorials
