Remove .php from URL

Check this link.

This is the answer using .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On # browser requests PHP RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^\ ]+)\.php RewriteRule ^/?(.*)\.php$ /$1 [L,R=301] # check to see if the request is for a PHP file: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /$1.php [L] 

Tested it on Windows with WAMP and working.

try this to remove .php extensions completly from your file and to avoid infinite loop:

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC] RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [NC,L] 

This code will work in Root/.htaccess, Be sure to change the RewriteBase if you want to place this to a htaccess file in sub directory.

You may be on the right track. However, it sounds like your .htaccess file is not being executed. Just because a module is activated, does not mean it is available for you in your particular situation.

Here are some steps to solve your issue:

• First of all, check the spelling very carefully. Verify that it is spelled correctly (including the . at the beginning)
• Check the file permissions. Some servers are going to require executable permissions. So chmod the file to 755.
• If you still do not have it working, go into your apache configuration (probably at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf on Ubuntu) and find every instance of AllowOverride. It might be set to 'none'. Change this to AllowOverride all instead.
• Then go into sites-enabled, find your site configuration, and change the AllowOverride fields there are well.
• Restart your Apache server and congratulate yourself with a big cup of coffee.

One of these should fix it. I would recommend trying between each step so that you can pinpoint where the error occurred. After determining the cause, you may want to go back and restrict some of those AllowOverrides, depending on your needs.

Best of luck!

You can try the following.

RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php$2 [L] 

It works for me:

 #On rewrite RewriteEngine On # Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # rewrite domain.com/username.php to username RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ $1.php [NC,L] RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ $1/$2.php [NC,L] RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ $1/$2/$3.php [NC,L] 

And more: Look at my rewrite file for social portal like fb:

Assuming that .htaccess is being processed, then this super simple .htaccess should work for you:

RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [END] 

If it doesn't work, there is something wrong with your Apache configuration. You need to look into that first.

If it works, add the following line before the RewriteRule to allow serving other files:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 

The END flag is available since Apache 2.3.9.

RewriteEngine on //replacement launch RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d //If the requested object is not a folder RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f //If the requested object to append the extension php - file RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php //make the change from concatenating .php 

Enabling mod_negotiation in my Apache config did the trick for me:

Content negotiation, or more accurately content selection, is the selection of the document that best matches the clients capabilities, from one of several available documents.

It's working, You can try this code.

1. First create .htaccess file in your main directory and paste the same code after that clear your history and its working.

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
