RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

Answer 2

After changing the parameter AllowOverride from None to All in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (Debian 8), following this, the .htaccess file just must contain:

Options +MultiViews
AddHandler php5-script php
AddType text/html php

Answer 3

Here is the code that I used to hide the .php extension from the filename:

## hide .php extension
# To redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L,NC]

Note: R=301 is for permanent redirect and is recommended to use for SEO purpose. However if one wants just a temporary redirect replace it with just R

Here's a method if you want to do it for just one specific file:

RewriteRule ^about$ about.php [L]

Answer 5

If your url in PHP like http://yourdomain.com/demo.php than comes like http://yourdomain.com/demo

This is all you need:

create file .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Not sure why the other answers didn't work for me but this code I found did:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

That is all that is in my htaccess and example.com/page shows example.com/page.php
