I have trying to achieve a url rewrite which can be fairly simple but i am unable to figure it out, here is what i want:
i have 2 files

test.html
test.php

my url request is test.html
my htacess rule should return the test.html file , and if test.html file doesnt exists then it should return test.php , the url stays the same i.e. test.html
so in short i want to check if the html file exists then return html file and if it doesnt then return php file.

Any help will be appreciated.. thanks

    You should really just do this with default document in Apache no mod_rewrite needed. If you set test.html as the higher priority document it will get chosen if they are both there otherwise test.php will be used if it is the only one there.

    If you insist on doing this in mod_rewrite the following will work for you

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-f
RewriteRule ^test\.html$              test.php [NC,L]
