If you have a page right now that is static, but needs to become dynamic, then you're in for some hurt. Never create 404's. You can of course do a 301 redirect to indicate the html has moved to php, but that is really annoying. The best solution though is to not have any file extensions on your urls to begin with. That is out of the scope of this email though. You can force php to run .html files, but then you've just really killed the performance of your web host. Servers are really fast at serving static files, but the second you load php, even to just do a <?php echo 'hello world' ?> you've slashed your maximum requests per second significantly. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
