Mod Rewrite (Once Again)

[jp_css]

I want to know how to process an html file as if it were a php file (or how to process any extension as if it were php) with mod rewrite.

[gergoe]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+)\.original_extension$ $1.any_other_extension

for example to rewrite every file with the html extension to php, use

RewriteRule (.+)\.html$ $1.php

i suggest you to read about the mod_rewrite in the apache documentation anyway, this is a very easy rewriting, if you would have taken a look in it, you could have done the same rewriting by yourself

[jp_css]

How about only rewriting one individual file from a html from a php file?

i have the impression that you are not going to read the mod_rewrite documentation in the near future. well, let it be then, here's what you are looking for:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)/somefile.html $1/somefile.php [L]

this will rewrite the address silently, which means that the url in the address bar will not change. if you want to have the browser redirected instead (so the url will change in the address bar) then change the

[L]

to

[R,L]

at the end of the last line.
