To redirect simple folders to PHP files:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/])/$ /$1.php [L]

And then do redirect your SEO friendly URLs:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/])/([0-9]+)/([^/])\.html$ /$1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]

The RewriteCond lines check to make sure the request isn’t already a valid file.
