PHP - HTML

Is there a way to have .php extensions show as .html extensions on the
internet. Some sort of rewrite?

You could, but setting up your server to parse .html files as PHP.
However, this will create a lot of overhead on the server unnecessarily
parsing non-html pages.

But if you want to know how to do it (and why not to), try
alt.apache.configuration (assuming you're using Apache, of course).

Yes, it can be done two ways:

option one) without renaming the PHP files to .HTML

add this to your htacccess (called url rewriting):

# -----------------------
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php

# ------------------------

Note this is a basic example, just to put you on track, if you want to
play with mod_Rewrite apache feature, I suggest, you should search
deeper.

Option two) by renaming the PHP files to HTML (playing with mime
types)

#-----------------------
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
#-----------------------
add this to your .htaccess apache specific file

Now, these examples are for apache, hope they help, if you're using
other HTTP server, go study their documentation, I remember lighttpd
has a mod_rewrite feature also.

Probably easiest with Apache's MultiViews (assuming you use Apache, that
is ;)). See .

But note that there are good arguments to not have filename extensions
in URLs at all. See and
.
