Hi,

I've recently moved from Perl to PHP pages on my Short Story site, but there's still a fair amount of traffic trying to access the Perl pages, which now don't exist. The only difference between the url's is the file extension in all cases.

Here's an example:

The original page was /story.pl?s=756
New page is /story.php?s=756

The only difference is the file extension in all cases.
Is there any simple way to use Mod_Rewrite etc to redirect anyone trying to access the Perl pages to the equivalent PHP page?

Cheers!

(EDIT: I've tried a few different ways within .htaccess, but just can't seem to get it right...)

Yes. I don't have the exact link offhand, but if you search around you can find it.

Basically you want to make a rule that catches *.pl and replaces it with *.php - you can have query strings after this.

If I want to have the same urls but they should by parsed by PHP, I can simple add in htaccess:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .pl

You create on the server files with pl extensions but they will be parsed by PHP.

another mod rewite question, does anyone have the correct .htacces file mod_rewite code for mambo SEF URLs, I am really struggling on particular host and they can't do it either
