OK, so here's a list of other things you can not do:
- You can not change the server so that it processes htm files as php
files.
Here's a list of things you can do:
+ You can download all the files from the server webroot to your local
machine to bulk edit them
+ You can use tools such as sed to change every local url from .htm
to .php
+ You can rename all the .htm files to .php files
+ You can automate the redirection of requests to *.htm to serve up the
*.php files instead
+ You can upload all the fixed files to the server webroot
External and existing search engine links will still work, because
requesting the old .htm file will get the new .php file automatically.
This is not a technically difficult fix, although you may need to spend a
bit of time on getting to grips with the changes that need to be made and
the tools that can make them if you have never had to do anything like
this before. However, for any reasonably experienced website maintainer,
this is probably the sort of issue that gets thrown at them occasionally
(in some cases very regularly) and it's good practice to get used to
using the sort of tools that can be used to sole such issues.
