look up 'htaccess using mod rewrite'

[dennispopel]

This may be impossible to achieve if your hosting provider forbids to use the .htaccess files. Basicly this is not PHP-related problem, rather Apache-related issue. In general you will have to declare .html files as if they were of type application/x-httpd-php. In this case PHP will be used to display all static html files which will lead to a small overhead, but it will be working fine for .html files with PHP code inside.

sorry im too lazy create a file called '.htaccess' and upload it to the main directory with the following code:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html $1.php

then create a file called 'test.php' and in it put '<? echo "test"; ?>' and go to test.html on your site and see if the word 'test' appears...

Easiest way : rename your file from script.php to script.php.html

You can now access that file by typing in script.html, and it has all the PHP functions.

Main directory??? means where exactly.
as i saved it in the public_html
is the correct place or anywhere else.???
and dont u think this file is already there should i replace it?
hummm i m so confused
guide me please

[jordie]

if its already there, download it then add the bits said above, and reupload it.

Did not tested but I think you can also do this with "apache handlers" and to handle all your html files serverside and then rename all your php files to html but if you have really html files it will increase your server's load.

well,
i want to do this as because it is the clients requirement.
well mod_rewrite doesnt work for this as i think.
cause it helps we to change the url of the site
but i want to change the extension of the page
from .php to .html

is it really possible.????
actually i have all the files in .php and in that files all the coding in php and there is some html part as well. now when ever user see the site i want to convert the page name from index.php to index.html, category.php to category.html
and as so onnnn

can any one please help me in this matter ... please i m confused guide me...
