Re: Mod_rewrite question

Why not just use something like this?
RedirectMatch permanent (.*)\.html$ http://mydomain.com$1.php

You could use the rewrite engine, but you shouldn't need to unless some
of the .html urls are not changing to .php urls. In that case rewrite
could be your best bet. If you wanted to only change the url to *.php if
the *.php url was valid, you could do something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)\.html [NC]
RewriteCond %0.php -f
RewriteRule (.*)\.html $1.php [R,L]

Or if you want to change all .html urls to .php urls unless the .html
url exists you could do something like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)\.html [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule (.*)\.html $1.php [R,L]

This isn't directly related to iSeries, but maybe someone can still
help...

As a bit of history, I run a MovableType blog. Recently, I have
decided to create the pages as PHP instead of HTML, then I can do some
cooler things with my site. Well, now I am getting tons of 404 errors
in my logs because of this move. So, I would like have have any URL
with ".html" to be sent to the exact same name, but with ".php" for
the extension. So for example:

mydomain.com/mysite/mypage.html

would come out as

mydomain.com/mysite/mypage.php

or

mydomain.com/mypage.html --> mydomain.com/mypage.php

I would like this to be a redirect so can clean up many of my 404
errors I have been getting. I have been trying to look for examples
but haven't found any.

Any ideas?
