If you wanted to redirect files, you could do it with mod_rewrite.

If you want to silently serve the .php as .html (and for some reason didn't want to parse .html)

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

So if you wanted a "page.php" to display as "page.html" to perhaps take advantage of Google's hypothetical preference, this would work?

Interesting thread...wish I understood more of this stuff...
