Rewrite .html to .php using mod_rewrite

I have a rewrite condition and rule which is.

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$0 !-f
RewriteRule ^[^*]+$ index.php [L]

I need to replace .html with .php in %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$0.

The reason is, I am rewriting my url's to .html but when this file checks for an existing file it fails due to %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$0 looking for file thefile.html,

I need it to look for thefile.php.

Solved!

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$0 !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$0 !-f
RewriteRule ^[^*]+$ index.php [L]

I had to use it twice to firstly, rewite all .html to .php then on the request for.php the second condition comes into play.

For rewriting .html extensions to existing .php files with the same name, try this rule instead of what you had:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]

What you have just rewrites any non-existent file to index.php
