title: .htaccess redirect html to php and access to php files without .php extension
body: <p>I wish to accomplish 2 things with this .htaccess file. </p>
  
  <p>1) All requests to .html point to .php
  eg. user goes to: <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.html</a>
  Browser loads: <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywebsite.com/contact.php</a></p>
  
  <p>2) Request to <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com/contact" rel="nofollow">http://www.mywebsite.com/contact</a> will load the contact.php
  (This should apply to all pages not just the contact page.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my .htaccess file. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Options -MultiViews
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To be honest I have no idea what these are doing. I blended them together from a mismash of articles I read. Any help would be appreciated.</p>
