Hi,

you could install "mmv" (multiple mv) which is close to perfect for
these things.
  One other way would be to run something like:

	for f in *html; do mv $f ${f//.html/.php}; done

which should work if there's not to many files.  Note that I think it
requires bash though.  And of course, it renames _all_ html files, so be
carefull.  Perhaps even prepend the 'mv' with an echo so you can "debug"
what will be done before doing so.

Best regards,
	Emil
