If you're coding in PHP and want to remove .php so you can have a URL like:

http://yourdomain.com/blah -> which points to /blah.php

This is all you need:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Answer 5

Gumbo's answer in the Stack Overflow question How to hide the .html extension with Apache mod_rewrite should work fine.

Re 1) Change the .html to .php

Re a.) Yup, that's possible, just add #tab to the URL.

Re b.) That's possible using QSA (Query String Append), see below.

This should also work in a sub-directory path:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [QSA,L]

I've ended up with the following working code:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NC,L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [NC,L]
