changing file extensions to SHMTL...effect in search engines?

will changing the extensions cause any changes in my listings?

[ann]

I want to use SSI but find I need to rename the pages with a SHMTL extension.

Will this mean that I get dropped from the search engines until respidered with the new extensions?

Is there a work around for using SSI without the changes?

Appreciate the help...

put either
AddHandler server-parsed .html
(new directive) or
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
(old one)
into your .htaccess file.
this way files with the extension .html will be
parsed serverside.
hope it helps!

Hello PsychoTek,

Could you or someone else let me know what we would add to htaccess to do the same thing but have files parsed as php (instead of shtml).

We have .htm, .html, .php and .shtml extensions in amongst our pages, and want to change them all so we can use php includes, without having to worry about what extension we give them.

I did a search for this a week ago but couldnt find anything though i know it has been discussed and the answer given before.

I could be wrong, but I think something like this in the .htaccess will allow you to serve other pages through the PHP parser:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
