PHP & MySQL Tutorial

Hi Guys,

This is probably an easy Q.

Every time i click the shirts link on the Shirts for mike website, it sends me to this page and then i have to click the bottom link where it displays the correct page:

Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks

This is happening because by default the server will look to display a index file. Since there is currently no index file inside of the shirts folder it doesn't know what to display. You can fix this by either changing the name of one of the folders to index.php (although this is not recommended) or you can fix it by using Rewrite Rules in order to tell it to display one of those two files you have by default.
