having php handle a .htm extension

[sfullman]

Hi There,

I know you can have php process other file extensions besides php, php3, etc. - but I want to do something a bit different.

I have a client with a very large website, all the pages are static, with a .htm or .html extension. Because of Google I refuse to change extensions (and hence urls) or use redirects for pages that I make dynamic; however I don't want php processing all html pages either due to performance concerns.

Is there any way to set a .config or .httpd file in a folder that says, "for these specific pages, process them with php" ? If so please let me know. This seems the most professional method to solve the problem.

Sorry, didn't read your post right. deleting everything I said.

Just a suggestion, and you've probably already tried it --- found anything at http://modules.apache.org ?

Have you load tested having php handle all .htm(l) extensions? My guess would be that the performance difference would be next to nil for a static page since php doesn't really have to do any work.
