Change all .php to html? htaccess?

Is there a way for my to change or mod_rewrite all my php files so they are all html files?

 

You mean phyisical or just within the url

 

Sorry I should clarify what I'm trying to do:
I just want search engine friendly urls but all my sites are php.

 

Php files get indexed just fine, I can't imagine you'll benefit from this at all.

 

Okay, thanks. I was just wondering since phpbb forums have mods to display the urls in html format in archives. I assumed this was for better search engine indexing?

 

If your URL has vars it is not suppose to be SEOF ie.e
www.mysite.com/thispage.php?go=my&site=this&more=ofthat
using MOD rewrite you can change it to a more readable url.
www.mysite.com/thispage/site/ofthat

 

Try site:forums.digitalpoint.com inurl:"php?t" for a good example of lots of pages with variables indexed

There might be an issue with ?id= and ?sid= though.

 

Thanks, yeah I found it at wordpress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

I put that in an htaccess file in my home directory and viola
http://www.mysite.com/blog/?p=123

Became:
http://www.mysite.com/blog/postname

I can also make it:
http://www.mysite.com/blog/category/postname

Awesome thanks Big 'G' you rock!

 

Hi, I am totally confused when it comes to the mod rewrite in the htaccess file.

I got many links that I want to change, some of my links:

index.php?page=......
index.php?page=imageview&image=......
index.php?page=articleview&article=......
index.php?page=blogview&blog=......
index.php?page=fileview&file=......

Examples of the usage:

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=home
I want it to become www.mysite.com/home.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=history
I want it to become www.mysite.com/history.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=contact
I want it to become www.mysite.com/contact.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=imageview&image=0
I want it to become www.mysite.com/imageview/0.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=articleview&article=0
I want it to become www.mysite.com/articleview/0.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=blogview&blog=0
I want it to become www.mysite.com/blogview/0.html

www.mysite.com/index.php?page=fileview&file=home
I want it to become www.mysite.com/fileview/home.html

I have tried many ways, but I can't get it to work, spent many hours and have been confused about it for days now.

Please help me with a complete htaccess mod rewrite for my site.

 

No need for help, got it to work, I just had to spend some more time with it and try to understand its ins and outs

 

^how did you fix it? I am tryign to do the same thing. I keep recieving, "500: internal server error"

(sorry for the 11 day bump, but this is relevant)

EDIT: nevermind, figuring it out. Nice!

 

are you going to post YOUR findings?

 

Examples of the usage:

http://php/myproject/index.php?mode=comparepackage
I want it to become www.mysite.com/home.html

plz tell me the some info about this what i do for easier and best way ?

 

Actually I was looking for an answer to my question on this forum related to SEF URL issues.. I saw the above question.. Try isapirewrite.com...

 

Use ForceType if you have acces to the server rather than htaccess.

This is loaded into Apache at startup and you dont need to kill you disk scanning for htaccess files

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)\.html$ /index.php?mode=$1 [NC,L]

 

That totally helped me. Thanks. I needed it for a site-wide change to php pages (formerly all HTML pages). The links all work without updating them. Just changed the .htaccess file. Here's what I used:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /Privately_Protect_My_Motorcycles/
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)\.html$ $1.php [NC,L]

 

I don't think you'd have issues. Think about all the forums that get indexed with php.
