This is what's weird -- As I stated earlier in the thread, placing index.php and/ or index.php3 and/ or index.php4 and/ or index.phps and/ or index.phtml in the following section of Apache's httpd.conf file *cures* this. <IfModule mod_dir.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm </IfModule> Having provided web services for 6+ yrs. I can assure you that this has *0* ill effects on clients - contrary to your ISP's statement. PHP is a standard internet extension and widely accepted globally. Your ISP needs a clue.
