if i use html extension for php files will it be more search engine friendly as they saw search engines dont like dynamic content..
i am saving php files as htm and making arragement in server to parse as php

will it enhance search engine effiecncy?
will it make things slower? loading of page?

Search engines don't care what the file extension is on the whole so long as they understand the content sent. PHP doesn't care either.

Like is stated in a previous post search engines don' t care about extension, it' s more of an esthetic part. To do this you can use mod_rewrite (an Apache module).
Here is a tutorial http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html. And here a tutorial on how to simplify urls http://www.goodphptutorials.com/track/109.
Go to http://www.sempo.org/learning_center/ to find out more on how search engines work and what can you do to improve your standings in search.
