[RESOLVED] header issue

[sc_king]

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 www.domain.com/index.php

How can I fix this?

Thanks

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.

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

[scragar]

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'index.php'){
  header('Location: /');
  exit;
}; 

Try that.

Yes that worked, thanks!
