Removing .php extensions from files in htdocs

Question

I have my project in my htdocs folder where my main file is index.php. I have tried multiple time to remove the .php extension when the file is opened in the browser, using the .htaccess file with the following lines without luck:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L]

The extension remains. Is it because the link in my browser is

file:///C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.23/htdocs/Cipcpr/index.php

and not

localhost/...

You can use:

Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine on # remove php RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC] RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L] # rewrite with php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ $1.php [L]

If your project doesn't need to remove extensions dynamically, you can manually set the RewriteRules for every file. Here is the code for your index.php

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^index/?$ index.php [NC,L]

when you now type /index it will reference to /index.php file.

To add other file (let's say login.php) you can just copy last RewriteRule and rewrite the indexes.

RewriteRule ^login/?$ login.php [NC,L]

Just add .htaccess file to the root folder of your site(for example, /home/domains/domain.com/htdocs/) with following content:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
