I know a lot of my readers may already know this but I get asked this question about how to run php with an html extension enough that I thought I would get it down in print so I can just send people to it.

I often get the question “How do I use php without changing my url’s?” or “How do I just make one header and footer file to include in each page so I only have to change them once when a change is needed?”.

Some people want to start using some server side programming but don’t want to lose the pages they already have indexed and ranking in the search engine. Some just like to have pages that look like page.html instead of page.php. Some people think they have to change their extensions to .shtml to use includes.

All you have to do is add one line to your .htaccss file. You won’t have one of those if you are running IIS. I’m not sure how to do this on IIS. If you don’t have a .htaccess file then you can just create one. First on your computer create a text file called htaccess without any extension. Put:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

in that file.

What this does is tell the server to treat files with the .html extensions as if they had the .php extension. Now you can use php includes ( ). One downside to doing this is that all files will be ran through the php parser. This should not be a big deal since you are putting php in all your pages anyhow for the header and footer.

php using html extension

They found a planet and named it OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb.
I read this article on BBC News Online. I was hoping someday they would find the planet I came from.

Some quotes:

“Did you know that Google keeps a copy of every piece of data it ever comes across? That includes every web page (without images), search terms, and usage data such as time of day, IP address, etc. Google’s head of engineering told me more than two years ago that all the data gets saved onto onto tapes and is shipped to a storage facility. What will you do with that data I asked? We don’t know was the answer.”

I have seen Googleguy at webmaterworld say many times that they horde data. I don’t know what they could do with this data but it is scary. With all the new google tools like gmail and the toolbar they know who you are and what you are doing.

In case you don’t know what the are:
