If you're running Apache, you could use a rewrite rule to redirect all
requests for .html files which exist like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond /var/www/docroot%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteRule .* /var/www/docroot/fancy.php [L,NS]
(untested, btw)
and in fancy.php look at the $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] variable to get the
name of the HTML which was requested. The RewriteCond will ensure the PHP
is only called when the page exists. If you want to have 404 messages, you
can remove that line, and maybe check for just .html. Personally, I have
all requests for non-existing files going through a PHP file, to handle
site-wide database connections, templates, etc.
hope that helps!
