.htm .html act as .php

kwright510 · January 26th, 2008, 3:59 PM

I would like for my html pages to act as if they are .php and process php scripts rather than change page extensions and potentially lose page ranking in google. With another host I simply added this line to my .htaccess file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html. However, this no workie as I get 404 errors. I also tried changing php to php5 in the above line. Still no joy.

Ideas, suggestions, made up stuff?

I think there's a way to do this in cpanel.

I think you can change something with the MIME types? But I'm not entirely sure about that.

That should work here as well... and it definately shouldnt cause 404 Errors. Might cause Internal Server Errors, but thats a whole different ball game

I'll give it another shot...

I really don't suggest doing this... it means any time you load a page, it's going to be putting it through the PHP interpreter. That causes extra load.

But each page has at least one, usually multiple php scripts So how is the load any different that if I changed the extension?

he's referring to any page that doesnt have php in it... putting it through uses extra resources that normally wouldnt be there... how signifcant that is depends on how many pages arent using PHP and how big they are.
