htaccess redirection and rewrite from php to html

Question

I am stuck with .htaccess modification, need a little help.
First off, here is whats inside my htaccess.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [nc]

For example, I created the file named test.php and uploaded to my server.

I want my server to behave like this.

http://example.com/test/test.html -> http://example.com/test/test.html(as it is)
http://example.com/test/test.php -> http://example.com/test/test.html

but with the .htaccess I have right now, I still have both .php and .html which may be considered as file duplication by search engine crawler like Google robot (isn't it?).

Any help appreciated.

try this .htaccess code

# Enable Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine on

#Create friendly URL
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)\.html$ test/$1\.php [L]

OR

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1.html [L]

OR

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## .php to .html
# To externally redirect /test/test.php to /test/test.html
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1.html [R,L,NC]

thanks Sumit for quick reply. But my file name can be anything. like index.php, company.php, mission.php, access.php, etc... so better to use regex right?

if that not work check my OR portion of answer, that will defiantly work

@norixxx you have test folder so rule may be RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^test/(.*)\.php$ RewriteRule ^test/(.*) /test/$1.html [L]

still not workin' /test/index.php -> O.K. but if i type /test/index.html -> "The requested URL /test/index.html was not found on this server." my server says. my htaccess now: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^test/(.*)\.php$ RewriteRule ^test/(.*) /test/$1.html [L]

This is a configuration file of apache '.htaccess' if you still want to configure then change

You may try this in one .htaccess file in root directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html             [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.php  /$1/$2.html [R=301,NC,L]

For silent mapping, replace [R=301,NC,L] with [NC,L]
