Mod rewrite .php to .html

Hi.
If someone can help me.

I wish to use mod rewrite to change the urls from page.php in page.html (all the urls of the site)

What should i write in .htacces ?

Also if someone can provide me an exemple for a single page like: www. mysite.com/page.php to be rewrited as www. mysite.com/page.html.

Thanks

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [NC]

 

Thanks.

Can you also tell me what will be the Rewrite syntax for one single page ?

I want to test it before.

Thanks again.

 

Test it in a sub folder

 

is there any benefit to rewriting php extensions to htm?

i mean with no qeurystring - just php->htm

 

Thanks for idea.
I've tested it on subfolder and even on main .htaccess and it didn't worked.

 

I was thinking for a better SE friendly url's.
I don't know if .php urls (without Ids) just normal .php like /page.php are indexed well or not.

That's why i'm thinking about rewriting.

I don't know how it works without query if you asked me.

Edit later

Finally i've managed to make the server handle .html as .php.
I've tried for some time but didn't worked, and now...WOW

I put " AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm " in .htaccess and now my page.html is parsed as a php one.

 

Or do

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [L]

and the actual files can be page.php

 

Does anyone know how to do this for all the pages in a PHPNuke system? What settings can I use or is there a plug-in to change all php file names to html?

Thanks in advance!

 

Yes there is one that I have used and its good.Changes ALL to html..Its called Googletap and you can get it from nukecops

 

Mod rewrite there are 2 reasons to use mod rewrite

1. Better se results, a lot of search engines will turn tail if they see the ? after .php in urls, not sure why, but se's don't really like indexing dynamically generated pages.

2. Security, what your site is coded in is irrelevant at best, and a security vulnerability at worst, if people know what language your site is coded in, they'll more easily be able to exploit any code vulnerabilities.

 

how can I have this code

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [NC]

also be applied to sub directory pages...I want to change those to html as well....
