Any file that uses PHP has to be named .PHP
U canstill write code as HTML and where u want the PHP code put int <?PHP ... ?> there.

You could change your web server/php to parse .html as php scripts instead of .php

Thats a crappy way to do it, it's better to just change your pages from .html to .php

This isn't true. A file that has PHP code in it can be named anything, as long as the server knows to parse that filetype as PHP.
For intance, if you're on Apache, edit httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
And to add .phps as colored source:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

kellog: Why is this a crappy way? It's perfectly acceptable and useful. It's not like you have to have any PHP in the file for it to work.

Dear Mordecai,

I did what u told me to do , modified the httpd.conf files , and re boot Apache. Sorry, It doesn't work.

Can u explain it more detail .

Thx !

Go on over to download . com and download File Renamer program. It'll rename all your files (including extensions) in a directory (and/or its subdirectories) using a "find and replace" string..

What's so hard about renaming them all to .php ?

If you have links in your .html file, get a program like DreamWeaver that will rename all your links to .php (ie find <a href="link.html">link</a> replace <a href="link.php">link</a> ) DW can also look through the source code and replace them for all files in a directory.

I must say it is a good idea , WizyWyg. Thx !

But my web site is a public one and in production, If I changeed all HTML files , it 's means too much workload , change the file name , modify links , inform other site and forum change the link too and finally tested them . It is terrible .

Do u have any other good idea ?

If your site is in production and already linked to a thousand other places, make a whole bunch of redirect files ending with .html, i.e.

<html>
<head>
<title>myfile.html; redirect to myfile.php</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mysite.com/myfile.php">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Thus, if anyone tries to link to the HTML files, they will be invisibly redirected to the PHP files. Problem solved, methinks.

Btw, if you're making a site that uses PHP at all, I'd be inclined to name every single file .php in case you decide to alter any files at a later date and include functionality and features which you hadn't thought of while you were initially making the website. I've got loads of files that are basically HTML, but I'm planning to include PHP-assisted features once I find the time and gain the necessary experience, so I've just named all files .php

If your host lets you change config vars though .htaccess files, make an .htaccess file that looks like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

I have got it !

Mordecai

Wait, it worked for you to edit .htacess, but not your httpd.conf? If you followed my instructions and they did not work, then your server is misconfigured somehow.
