Set the first page to be loaded by the browser

Question

I’m building a CMS and I have 2 files:

• the index.php
• index.php (which is housed in the themes/original folder).

You can make the browser load the index.php file (in the themes/original folder) before loading index.php?

Answer 1

If you just want to load the content or run some script that is in themes/original/index.php, use include_once('themes/original/index.php);

Follows documentation of the method: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include-once.php

Answer 2

You can set a rule in the file .htaccess of your server

Example:

DirectoryIndex themes/original/index.php
