Here's what I'm trying to do. When people type in
http://www.mysite.com/enewsletter/ in the URL, the browser will load the index.php page by default. But what I wanted to do is when people type this,
http://www.mysite.com/enewsletter/, in the URL I want the browser to load
http://www.mysite.com/enewsletter/enews.php?id=1. Can this be done? If yes, mind showing me the steps?
Thanks!

mean you want the browser to redirect do you? Or simply load the page as if that were in the URL you want?

Yes, that is what I want. I want the browser simply load the page as if that were in the URL. Can this be done?
And yes, I will search for mod_rewrite. I hope it's not too difficult.

Are you using Apache?

Many thanks for your help. Yes, I think I'm using an Apache but I'm not the web server administrator. Any I found that this:
Code: Select all
if (!isset($_GET['id'])) {
header ("Location: index.php?id=1");
}
works on my case.
