Rename the file INDEX.PHP

Some of the material is a little dated.

Example file INDEX.PHP:

<?php
print "This is a test for Bryan (only \\n)\n";
print "This should be on a new line but it isn't\n";
print "<br><br>\n"; # make new lines in html output and start again
print "This is a test for Bryan (both &lt;br&gt; and \\n)<br>\n";
print "This should be on a new line and it is<br><br>\n";
print "<b>View the page source.</b><br>\n";
?>
