Rewriting url

Hey all. Apache / .htaccess isnt my thing so I will post here. I want (for security and other purposes) to rewrite my urls so that it will change from (for example)

somesite.com/index.php?action=whatever

to

somesite.com/index.html?action=whatever

So basically parse .php files and use .html extension instead. I googled and saw similar stuff on google but none were exactly what I needed. Thanks in advance.

Change that. I don't even want the html showing. I want

index?action=whatever

Thanks

Try this in you .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)?(.*)=(.*)$ $1.php?$2=$3 [R]

 

Ok thanks. I am at school now and their stupid firewall blocks my cpanel. FTP won't work either sadly. *Sigh*. Thanks for the code. I was starting to worry that everyone forgot this thread.
