I want the urls to be like: http:://www.mydomain.com/page.html http:://www.mydomain.com/page2.html http:://www.mydomain.com/page3.html etc. One motive is to be sure that no search engines are discouraged from indexing my site plus I'm going to create pages and nav snippets with links to all those pages. I'm not sure I really know what you're asking, but if you are asking if you can use PHP code within HTML files (with *.html extensions) then the answer is yes. If you're running Apache, add the following to your httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html This will make the web server send *.html files to the PHP parser as well. This way you don't have to have your scripts end with *.php. The drawback is that every single *.html file will be sent to the PHP engine for parsing, even if it doesn't contain any code, so your web server will have that extra overhead to deal with. If you have a large site that gets a great many hits a day you may not want to do this for performance reasons...

Using mod_perl I can write a module for any phase that Apache goes through while handling a request. Based upon any variables I want, I can tell Apache to have my module handle one of those phases. So when you request this url for example: http://www.mydomain.com/joe.html My module can take joe.html and insert it as the body of a template and then return that to your browser or if you request something else like http://www.mydomain.com/image_of_joe.gif then my module just declines to handle that and apache continues through it's phases. Here is an example (bad execution of an example though) http://161.58.230.66/images/ I have the following .htaccess file in that directory: SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Schoenster_Gallery PerlSetVar DOCROOT /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/images PerlSetVar URL_PATH /images I can stick this .htaccess file in any directory (only makes sense where I have images) and it uses those 2 variables above to determine where to read for images and where to write the files which produces the frame-set that you see (the module looks in that file for templates to parse so I can have different looks in different places wihout changing the module). I say it's a bad execution because I'm using imagemagick to resize (regardless of original size). If I add new images it will automatically create a thumbnail (which can currently be larger than the original :) of that. I use a db file to cache thumbnails already created but it does check file modification date to see if it should resize the image or not. But what I want to do is to do this with html files where I'll have a few templates (header,footer,navigation,boxes) that will be created on the fly depending upon variables when a client requests an html file and I want to know if I can do this in PHP without rewriting the url (which is not such a bad option perhaps).
