我正在重新设计HTML 中的一个PHP 网站。是否因为文件扩展名需要设置重定向？

Question

I am working on redesigning a website that is currently a PHP website. The new site will be all HTML. I am trying to keep all of the slugs the same. Should I set up redirects?

Currently, the website pages have the.PHP extension in the browser.

Example: https://www.dehartsystems.com/residential.php

The new page will be HTML and the URL will have no file extension.

Example: https://www.dehartsystems.com/residential

Do I need to set up redirects as the file extension will be changing?

Answer 1

To answer your question, yes you do need to set up redirects. Typically this is done in the .htaccess file in the root of your html folder on your server.

In this .htaccess file you put:

# Check rewriting is possible.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # Turn on Rewrite engine
    RewriteEngine on
    # check if file does not exist.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    # check if folder does not exist.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    # rewrite the given URL.
    RewriteRule ^(.*).php$ $1.html [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

This will redirect any call to any.php file that does not exist to the HTML file with the same file name, in the same folder location.

Yes, you will need to rename every file to.HTML if you don't do so the browser won't recognize the file as code. " https://www.dehartsystems.com/residential.html " only then your website will work., ie you should rename residential.php to residential.html
