htaccess rewrite rule for redirecting and removing extensions

Question

In my .htaccess file I have these rewrites

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f #RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L] RewriteRule ^/admin/$ http://socialable.comuv/admin.php [R=301,L] #noted out three lines since it's not what I need anymore I forgot the RewriteRule originally

Yet now it seems to not work at all, it keeps giving errors everywhere. I want is this

/admin/ (directory) to become /admin.php (file)
administration.php to become /administration

Try this:

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ admin.php [R,L] RewriteRule ^administration\.php administration [R,L]

Once you are satisfied that the redirect works, you can change the R to R=301 to make it permanent.

Ok I've gotten these to work, but I need to get if the user types /admin which is a directory to redirect to /admin.php instead

Also why are your flags [R,L] and then [L,R] ? I don't know what they mean just curious though.

Regarding the flags: no reason, just came out that way. :) Regarding your redirection for admin: you mean, you don't want to go to http://example.com/admin.php, just admin.php ?

Hey EasyBB, no please don't add an .htaccess in the admin folder. Looks like thanks to anu's keen eyes we're now all on the same page. Please see the edited answer.
