how to convert php links to html

hello every one
i have Linker directory,its extention is php
i need to convert it from php to html

http://www.lebnights.net/linker
http://lebnights.net/linker/index.php?cat=17

so can you give me the .htaccess that convert all the linker url to html plz?
waiting your help

 

You could use mod_rewrire extension

 

You would also need to change how all the links on the page are created.

The mod_rewrite code would be easy. Getting the script to create all it's links with .html would be the really slow part.

Why do you want to do this? I don't see any advantage.

 

Hi there streety, i didn't get your help till now
i need to do this coz its better for google for sure
so if you know the way plz create the file and give me the way
thanx

 

First of all make a .htaccess file, this file will load your index.php all the time

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /linker/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

Code (markup):

to get http://lebnights.net/linker/index.php?cat=17 to http://lebnights.net/linker/cat-17.html or what ever, use your index file to manipulate the output using PHP includes.

 

hi there abixalmon
thanx for your help
i added it as .htaccess file,didn't work with me!
can u put the full code for me plz?

 

le rule you need to inculde in your htaccess :

RewriteRule linker/([0-9]+) index.php?cat=$1

 

Where have you heard this? I seriously doubt it is true.

You'll quite often use mod_rewrite to reformat the get variables (everything after the ?) to make it easier for the search engines but as far as I know the file extension makes no difference.
