Can i load index.php instead of index.html?

<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Phnom_Penh');

use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;


$log = new Logger('name');
$log -> pushHandler (new StreamHandler('app.txt', Logger::WARNING));
$log -> addWarning('Oh No');

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$app->get('/', function() use($app){
    $app->render('index.php');
});

$app->get('/about', function() use($app){
    $app->render('about.php');
});

Hi there, I have not done this particular course but generally you can congifure your server to load index.php by default by adding this line to your .htaccss file:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

This would look for and load index.php and if that wasn't found it would load index.html.
