[RESOLVED] header issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 26.2009

I want to remove the index.php file extension, but what i do below doesn’t work.

if($_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]) == “www.domain.com/index.php”)
header(“Location: www.domain.com”);

This brings me back to [url]www.domain.com/index.php[/url]

How can I fix this?

Thanks

@scragarFeb 26.2009 — What? If you come from the index page send you back to the first page?

I think it might be easier to just never use index.php in your code, / works fine for that purpose.

@sc_kingauthorFeb 26.2009 — I would like to avoid using index.php for my main page.

But search engines pick up both http://www.domain.com and http://www.domain.com/index.php

I want http://www.domain.com/index.php to go to http://www.domain.com

but when i use header("Location: http://www.domain.com"); it doesn't take away the /index.php

@scragarFeb 26.2009 — [code=php]if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'index.php'){
header('Location: /');
exit;
};[/code]
Try that.
