PHP or Html

[Tony M]

I want to update My website... the pages would be mainly updated to php (because I updated them to show php current time on every page...), but the pages extensions were .html ...

 

So My question is: (what is recommended to do?)

 

Should I still use the .html extension (to the new and old pages) and make in .htacess .html to be processed as .php

OR

Should I use .php extension (for the new and old pages)?

 

(some say that .html is better for Search Engine Optimization...)

Are you doing anything other than the current time? If you just want a clock-like thing on your pages, you might consider embedding javascript in your html pages instead. Making all your pages get rendered by php seems inefficient.

I am using php include in some pages...

Yes, but what is the include for?

Yes, but what is the include for?

A normal php include: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

To include the same header and footer across all pages....

I would recommend just renaming all your pages to .php.

It is, and analytics services (like Google Analytics and Clicky) fare better on .html pages. I'd recommend sticking to it and parsing it as PHP.
