How to redirect SOME .html pages into PHP

[kenfused]

Hello,

After I started learning some basic PHP, I made all my new pages as PHP pages... so right now I have a mix of .html and .php pages...

I have heard of people using mod-rewrite to have the server treat all .html pages as .php pages...

I'd like to slowly replace my .html pages as .php pages. In the meantime, is there a way I can have the server look for the page as requested, say "home.html" and IF the page exists as a .html page, then go to "home.html" and IF the .html page does NOT exist, then go to "home.php"

Thanks!

You can run php in files with a .html extension

Paste the following line into your .htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

This way you don't have to change any of your files to .php, and nobody can tell what server-side technology you are using by looking at your file names.
