The HTML pages need to redirect to the PHP version but the issue is about a hosting provider problem in .htaccess

It helps to be concrete. Are you saying that

#1 your host won't let you put rewrites or redirects into htaccess? (Technically, you can add them to your heart's content, but if the AllowOverrides directive in the config file doesn't oblige, the htaccess is simply ignored.)

#2 you have html and php versions of the identical page?
