you can use Apache mod rewrite to create html pages having all programing saved in .php pages. I have never tried generating .html pages with this but have successfully generated .htm pages..

You still have to create .php pages, mod_rewrite just masks what the user is requesting through their browser. You can set Apache to parse .html pages as PHP, but I wouldn't recommend it, as any html pages that don't contain PHP code still have to be parsed as if they did, which is slower.

.htaccess: DirectoryIndex index.php /Nisse

That would only set the index for a given directory, it doesn't force Apache to run that script when something else is called.

I answered this issue yesterday with the following:

     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

I think tedd also adds .css :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP

I thought that doing that introduced slowdowns where Apache was parsing html files that didn't contain PHP code though?

It does... if your files don't have PHP. I imagine (but haven't checked) that you can set this on a virtual host basis. So then it becomes a question of utility versus wasted cycles. How many PHP sites actually bother to create .html files when there's no PHP code? Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
