    <?php include("file.php"); ?>

    Thank you.

    I'd do an if where you look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] (I think), do a var_dump($_SERVER) to see what your options are.

    Then you need to learn the basics before you go messing with your site. PHP is super easy to learn.

    Assuming your home page is index.php (and you have mod_rewrite urls) you could do something like this:

    
$base = basename( $_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF' ] );
       
if ( ($base == 'index.php') && (dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) === '/') ) {
    include_once "file.php";
}
