Hi
In both php and javascript books, you set the home page as a php script e.g. index.php. This begs the question whether a search engine such as Google will find the page / web site as easily as 'index.html'.
In the past, I have always made the homepage 'index.html' and then called the .php files from the nav bar (e.g. aboutus.php).
Your views would be appreciated.
