PHP Code:
<?
header("http://<hostname or ip here>/");
?>
there ya go thats a redirect in php
Edit: it does that because name is considered a directory and you can change what files webserver is looking for ex. index.php index.html and so on and you can add your own...
Name is a directory and it can have its own main php file... i dont know how to explain it very well other then
/name/ - directory
name.php - PHP File
and all you need to do is add name.php to index area i think its in apache someone might be able to help me there
