RewriteEngine on Rewriterule ^(.*).htm $1.php This works fine when i try to access every php page
But how could i make it RewriteRule ^/somepage $ /somepage.php (its not working )
if the page is about.php the url should be about/ (directory type)
Alternatively to Jan's answer:
RewriteRule ^/about/?$ /about.php will rewrite it whether they remember the final / or not.
If you want to use the rule in a .htaccess file, you need to remove the local path prefix from the pattern as it is removed before testing the pattern. In case of the root directory that is the /. So try this:
RewriteRule ^somepage/$ /somepage.php And for arbitrary path segments:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /$1.php 
RewriteRule ^/about/$ /about.php
