How do they..

I'm making a site where the log in boxes are on the homepage. Using PHP means I
have to make it [url]www.thesite.php[/url] , right? Then how come the folloeing example
doesn't:

[url]http://www.paypal.com/us/[/url]

Thanks in advance!

no i don't think so

the domain name is fine

your index HTML file and all the other files need to end with php
instead of html or htm

I pretty sure thats right, might be wrong however

[mzanime.com]

If their page is an index page, take "index.php" then typing only
[url]http://www.paypal.com/us/[/url] will work just fine and your browser doesn't have a
need to include the actual file name, since its an index PHP page.

Also, if you have direct access to a server you can modify its configuration
files to recognise ordinary HTML files as PHP and parse them as such.
