Conver All .php Pages To .html

Hello,

I have hundreds of .php pages in one folder.
Like page1.php, page2.php, .... page9000.php etc

I want to use mode rewrite for windows "ISAPI Mod ReWrite"
to convert all pages too .html extention

Like page1.php can be shown as page1.html

One way is i can use following command

RewriteRule /folder/page1.html /folder/page1.php

But in this case i need to set thousands of entries.

Is there any generic way and one line command that can help.

I tried this one but its not working

RewriteRule /folder/(.*)\.html /folder/(.*)\.php

Just in simple If i type

http://www.domainname.com/folder/page1.html

Then it call

http://www.domainname.com/folder/page1.php

And so and so.

Just out of interest, but why are you doing this? It won't make any difference to those pages being spidered or the rank that they get.

As an aside, it is possible to set up PHP so all .html pages get parsed as if they were .php pages, so you could rename all your files to .html and get what you want. If you are on someone else's server they may not be willing to make that change though.

if you are on someone else's server you still might be able to do that (parse .html as php) by using .htaccess files.
