1- I have 2 file index1.php and index2.php, index1.php has a hyper link like <a href="index2.php">Click here</a>, after clicking on this the user is transfered to index2.php, i want that the user to view index2.html in the web page & also in the address bar the address should be looked index2.html instead index2.php

2- I have my site [a href=\"http://localhost/mysite/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://localhost/mysite/[/a] and i have the main page for this index.php,
i want that whenever a user approaches to my site, the main page index.php should be displayed with displaying address [a href=\"http://localhost/mysite/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://localhost/mysite/index.html[/a] rather than [a href=\"http://localhost/mysite/index.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://localhost/mysite/index.php[/a].

What would be the rewriteconditions & rewriterules for these and where shld i place the .htaccess file. All my files will be under [a href=\"http://localhost/mysite/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://localhost/mysite/[/a]
