Do I need to change URL in my pages while rewriting URL's

[Douglas27CARLY]

I am using a simple rule to rewrite a URL\[code\]RewriteRule home.htm home.php\[/code\]And I've a menu where currently URL is\[code\]<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15817282/home.php">Home</a>\[/code\]So should I change that \[code\]href\[/code\] or am doing something wrong? Or there is a way where URL's in a page are changed automatically.
