This makes NO sense, Webmaster(s) please give quick answer.

    Hi,

    I'm working with a site I bought, and never really spent much time on.
    The site seems pretty simple (some .php) and the sitewide navagation links all appear to point to .html pages.

    Please, assume for one moment the following is really true:

    -Point the cursor to a nav link and you see (in the lower left browser bar) 'www.domain . com/proxy list.html is the expected target.

    -Click on the link and you arrive at /proxy list.html

    -Wanting to make changes, use FTP to download that file, etc.

    -Be surprised to see the .html code doesn't match expectations.

    -Find the 'other file' /proxy list.php, and "bingo it matches" :eek:

    -When the address bar confirms I'm at /list.html, the page shown is list.php.

    How is this possible?
    I'm NOT a total newbie, but this really makes no sense.
    Can someone explain, please?

    Thank you.

    That's a simple modrewrite. I do that with all my sites if I'm not using a CMS. It's not hard, it just makes the server write filename.php to filename.html when it's requested. Look at your .htaccess file for further coding.

    Peace 1.

    Ok, thanks for the answer. :)
    I'll give you 'green rep.', but it will come out grey because I used this section.
    Thank you.

    it's nothing but a simple mod rewrite. You can get the scripts from hotscripts.com
