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.
