Convert entire HTML site to PHP without changing *.html extensions
You want to switch your HTML site to PHP, but don't want to go and change every single file extension from htm/html to php?
It is simple. Just follow this procedure:
1) be sure your server is Apache with PHP enabled
2) open the .htaccess file in the root folder (something like www, htdocs, public_html or similar...)
3) add this line:
4) Now - open some html page and add few php lines to test the result. For example:
<?php echo "test"; ?>
5) If everything is OK, all *.html pages will work as standard *.php pages
(Just note that this may not work on every server/configuration)
As a demo -- the bold text below is produced by one <?php echo "<b>This is PHP Generated Output ..</b>."; ?> line:
