Software - Scripting

Written by DanielRo

In this tutorial you are going to learn how you can rewrite all your PHP pages to HTML using a simple .htaccess rule for better search engine indexing. This is a basic page.php to page.html htaccess script. In this tutorial we are providing a script that can only work if you are hosted on a Linux server. If you are not hosted on Linux then you should checkout the popular Bluehost.com hosting they have been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. There is a myth saying that search engines will better index your site if your pages are displayed like static HTML. Personally I don't believe it actually makes a difference for search engines if your pages are either PHP or HTML but in the long run it can increase your sites security. The language your site is coded in is irrelevant and also a security vulnerability, if people know what language your site is coded in, they'll more easily be able to exploit any code vulnerabilities. Say for example you have a website and a menu witch is dynamically built using PHP, you could only use it on PHP pages. Example: You have menu.php and all the pages of your site: index.php, services.php, portofolio.php, contact.php Using the following script you will be able to access the contents of all your pages using a HTML extension. The .htaccess file starts here RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [L] One would also have to change all the links trough out the website from the PHP extension to HTML. Your visitors can now access the contents of services.php using services.html Using this htaccess basic PHP to HTML rewrite rule you can present PHP files as HTML. Install Photoshop on Ubuntu Linux Believe it or not Photoshop CS2 is now fully supported on Ubuntu Linux using Wine. For a long period of time I was eager in switching to Ubuntu but the incompatibility of my most used Windows based applications always made me switch back to Linux. No more Windows based Photoshop skills, now you can powerup Photoshop on Ubuntu. How to 301 Redirect Non-WWW to WWW URLs One of the first things you should consider when starting any SEO work on a website is deciding if you are going to use the www.example.com or example.com base URL. Many search engines consider those two URLs different, other sites that link to yours could also use different versions of your URL and that mix can really hurt on the long run.
