calling php pages

[denoteone]

Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes.

 

I just redid a 100 page+ site and now all pages are named the same but end in a .php extension.  I would like to keep all of my inbound links so if the link is    www.mydomain.com/contact.html    the server would serve up the page www.mydomain.com/contact.php    is this possible and if it is do I alter the php config file?

You want to use a .htaccess file, it needs to go in the route directory

 

in the .htaccess file put;

 

RemoveHandler .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

That's not going to work. That would be fine if you wanted to let html files be parsed as php but, as i understand it, those html files no longer exist.

 

You'll need to use the mod_rewrite apache module, with the following in a .htaccess file in your web root:

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*?)\.html$ $1.php
