I can understand that, I kick and scream when forced to think in DTML ('-'
in variable names? Turning the stack inside out? Blah).
Anyway... I suspect, as you're going from index.html -> index.php, you
actually want to add index.php as a Directory Index. Try adding this to your
httpd.conf file:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
and now, /my/path/index.php will be called when you run
http://myhost.com/my/path/
(If I answered the wrong question, I apologise; forcing a redirect from a
pure HTML page will probably need Javascript or meta refresh.)
As to your other question.... yes, it's possible to use PHP to test for
incoming browsers, but it's not exactly good practice. Check
$HTTP_USER_AGENT.
