I was wondering if there was a way to hide the .php file extension with .htaccess.

I've seen quite a few websites do this, for example facebook on most of its pages does not show the .php file extension.

For example I want all my url's to be:

https://mywebsite.com/about

instead of

https://mywebsite.com/about.php

EDIT

Inside my .htaccess file I have the following code already:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Do I just append 

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

at the end of the file? Or how does it work?

Try this:

This code is currently working in my pc. 

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

It will remove extension .php from URL and set remaining URL as it is.

your have to active the rewrite_mod

and in your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]

While this has been answered a few times already, a quick search will show you results like this that should work:

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

I edited my post, perhaps you could indicate how can I do it? Since I'm getting an internal error code 500.
you should only need to enable RewriteEngine once, not sure that should cause a 500 error though

add the following to the .htaccess file (make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled) 

 RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

Add:

Options Multiviews

and let mod_negotiation take care of this for you.

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

Second line explanation:

^ Start of line ( Capture everything enclosed (start) . Any single character * Zero or more of any character ) Capture everything enclosed (end) $ End of line $1.php Get the captured match and append .php, there's the rewrite!

Voila!

hello => hello.php home => home.php

I already have RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] Do I just append that code at the end of the line?
