What would I place in my .htaccess file to send visitors to foo.php when they try to access foo.html?
Have a nice day....

You'd have to experiment. Each web host provider decides how much you can change with your .htaccess files. Some allow more than others. But you might try something like this:

RedirectMatch foo.html foo.php

See the "redirect" directives here (for Apache 1.xx):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html

Or here (for Apache 2.xx):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

And a google search for "apache redirect" will have lots of tutorials as well:

Hope that helps! :)

Just a word to the wise for others who might follow this post as I recently did... and painted myself into a corner.

Adding the following to your .htaccess file causes problems with the WYSIWYG editor:
RedirectMatch (.*)\.htm$ $1.php

However, the following is okay:
RedirectMatch (.*)\.html$ $1.php

I tried to get cute and put both into the .htaccess file. The three-letter extension would have to have some sort of exception when applied to the '/cmsAdmin/tinymce3/' dir.
