Directory is being displayed instead of webpages

When I enter my site url I get brought to a directory page where I can click on my php files to load them. Do I need to rename my PhP files to have one as an index.php? How do I get my URL to directly link to a specific PhP page within my htdocs dir?

Thanks for the help

Yep, you will have to rename it to index.php.

There is also a way to do what you said, by using the following code and replacing example.php with the name of the fil you want to load.
Create a file named .htaccess in your htdocs folder and paste this:

#Alternate default index page DirectoryIndex example.php
