Converting But Keeping

[yunkaa]

Hi Everyone,

I have a relatively popular site. We are on a shared server. If I change over to PHP content management, the .htm pages that are well linked and registered will be replaced on our pages with .php I will use a Mod to write the links as friendly. But, IDEALLY, I would prefer to use the OLD .htm links in the navigation sidebar for the old pages, and for the new pages, .php. Is this possible? Regarding the appearance of the pages, I'll keep my somewhat antiquated looking fonts. I find them easier to read, so the appearance of the PHP content management is less my concern. I'm more interested in the simplification that will come from the navigation and the modules. But, I don't want to give up the existence of my .htm links and pages. So, basically, my questions are:

Can I use my .htm links/pages in the navigation sidebars?

Can I have those old pages called up in the main window?

Thanks so much,

Yun

Not sure if I understand your question, but I think you are asking if you can keep the .htm extension on old pages. Yes, if you are not calling a php function on that page. if the old page will remain static.

The .php extension is needed for the server to know that it needs to parse php... thus activate the server side processes in your php coding. If the old files are being updated to include php functions, they will need to be modified to sync with the server's php parser.

Hope that is what you wanted to know.
