    The solution is specific to your software. Consult maker of the software you are using.

    You are looking for apache mod-rewrite to put in your .htaccess so that .php file extentions are viewed as .html

    There is also the use of a Site Map. The SE (Google) doesn't like query strings ( http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=213 ) where the "partnumber-213" is inserted into the URL dynamically. Their reason is the ability to loop (i.e. partnumber = 1 to 1,000,000).

    But if you create a list (.txt) with the urls listed
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=1
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=2
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=3
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=4
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=5
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=6
    ...
    http://www.catanich.com/ data.php?partnumber=10000 and so on, Google will index. Your app can still us the dynamics but the indexing is static.

    Oh, Google has a limit on a single page (I think is is 10,000) urls so check. But this works for me now on my ASP sites.

    Hope this helps
