Re: .html or .php?

The file extension is irrelevant for SEO. .html does not rank any better then .php.

The file extension is not related to whether your site is dynamic or not. DaniWeb is a dynamic site and we use .html file extensions.

I've even run some experiments and found they both do just as well. If you are really concerned both about SEO and the ability to be able easily make changes in the future you could also consider rewriting everything as a folder name rather than a file.

Re: .html or .php?

If you're using php, just wrap the URL names in the urlencode() function and spaces will turn to plus signs, etc.
