Answer 1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php 

Answer 2

# Apache Rewrite Rules
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /

# Add trailing slash to url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

# Remove .php-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php 

# End of Apache Rewrite Rules
 </IfModule>

Answer 3

You don't use htaccess to do this, you use your app to remove the extensions, and htaccess to map extension-less urls to real files. This rule

# Remove file extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]

Says, "if the requested resource doesn't exist as a file, look for the resource with a .php extension". So you remove the extension from all links in your app, and this rule will make the php file run without the extension. Your htaccess is fine as-is, you need to update your app.

Answer 4

Please try This code and tell me it performance.

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.html

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.py -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.py

Answer 5

There is another htaccess alternative I use very successfully:

Options +FollowSymLinks

Options -Indexes

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^purchase-jelly-babies$ /modules/products/jelly_babies.php [L]

RewriteRule ^/lets/use/an/asp/extension.asp$ /modules/test/asp_example.php [L]

This method not only solves your PHP extension issue but also allows you to keep your files organized no matter what those SEO idiots tell you what the URL should be.

Answer 6

the way am doing it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://domainname.com/$1 [R=301,L]
