Switching over?

Is it possible for a html website to change into a php website..

Just like renaming it?

for example: index.html .. change it to index.php (without changing the content?)

Why? i heard ppl say that php loads faster then html?

• Or just stick to html instead?

Yeah. PHP can be embedded within HTML, so if there's no PHP in the file, it'll just process it as HTML.

No, PHP doesn't load faster than HTML. It's going to run equal to or slower, seeing as it has to filter it all to parse all PHP. However, the time difference would be so minute no visitor is going to notice.

PHP is scripting/programming language for generating html.

So what php does is generating dynamic html - based on some data retrieved from database or from email etc.

No need to call .html .php Leave it. As i understand you don't really need php at the moment

So there is nothing different even i change it to ppl...

Btw, is php supported by all types of browsers?

It is not whether the browser supports php. Rather it is if your web server has php interpreter.

Renaming your files to .php and corresponding links get you ready for future php script use. You may want to embed some dynamic features in some of your pages later but if you change the extension then, you may have more troubles. Do it before your site grows too big to manage.
