I have a mall site which is almost all hand coded html. Within that site I have a directory that contains 2000 pages of WebMerge generated html.

These pages have been indexed by the search engines and produce (some) traffic.

I have taken the original datafeed into MySql and will produce dynamic pages with PHP. The page names will remain the same after the conversion to php.

My current links look like this:
/widgets/product.html

After the change the links will look like this:
/widgets/product.php

How do I redirect the traffic and spiders to the PHP pages?

Frank,

As I mentioned in your other post, you can add the following to your .htaccess file within the 'widgets' directory:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /widgets/
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php</pre>
This will automatically redirect all requests for *.html to *.php on the server side. This means that all traffic from search engines will be redirected to the correct page.
