PHP+Apache Static Url Rewrite

Hi people,

I'm fairly new to php and I would like to know how to rewrite a static url to a friendly url.

E.g. Rewrite:

- http://site.domain.com/buy_products.html
to
- http://site.domain.com/buy-products

or

/index.html
to
/home

I tried this and did not work:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^home index.html
RewriteRule ^wine-range wine_range.html

I will appreciate your help. I've googled and the examples I come across are mostly converting dynamic urls to static.

Regards,
Morgs
