    I doubt there is if you're just referring to the page extension.

    There is no difference aslong as the output is the same. Actually you could rename your files, but I would recommend to do that because many will skip because they find them trash

    HTML and PHP playing together in web world, i think not one battle against each other, but helping each other for better performance in front end + back end.

    php is the script generating the html. so if seo wise everything is done correctly then there is no difference at all. if the question is only about the crawling effect...

    No difference in Google crawlability at all, regardless of extension.

    I don't think google likes pages that look similar like showthread.php?t=1 showthread.php?t=2. But .php does not matter I think. seo'ing your URLs will change this though.

    If just quality matters there should not be any difference.

    Well as far as GOOGLE is considered there is no big difference between .php & HTML.

    PHP is embedded in HTML page. GOOGLE sees only the result that is obtained from the SERVER.

    If your page is DYNAMIC i.e it depends on user requests. Then there might be some change

    PHP is server-side and HTML is user-side. PHP is a programming languange, and HTML is the syntax for describing the layout of a website. That's the technical difference ;)

    As far as Google goes, I'm 95% sure that it doesn't matter. I'm not an SEO expert though. If there is a difference, you can use an htaccess file to make the file extensions appear to change from php to html.
