Redirect *.htm to *.php
htaccess rewrite if redirected file exists

I set up a website a while ago and I had all the extensions as .html. I’ve learned a bit more about web development and would like to have everything as .php. The problem is that some of the pages have been bookmarked so I can’t just change all the links and remove the .html files. I understand I could just add redirects on each page, but that would mean having two of each page on my site.

I’m wondering if there is a way using .htaccess to redirect any *.html to *.php if *.php exists.

Answer 1

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ $1.php

or In your apache httpd.conf file you can add

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
