I am trying to remove .php extension for only pages under a subcategory folder of the website.
currently: example.com/blog/my-first-blog.php
what i want: example.com/blog/my-first-blog/
I have tried the following rule in .htaccess (placed in root) but it still shows .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/blog/$1.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /blog/$1.php [L] The best way to achieve result you want is building a routing. Firstable, you need to rewrite all traffic to your index.php:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [L,QSA] Then, you need to write router that will be parsing URL paths. The simplest example of router is:
$url = urldecode(preg_replace('/\\?(.*)$/', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); if ($url == '/contact/about') { include 'contact.php'; } You can check how does it work in PHP frameworks to get a better solution, or use one of them.
I figured it out I just had to create .htaccess file under the "/guide/" directory. with the following rule note RewriteBase /guide/ for making sure it only removes .php under "/blog/" folder
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L] Try this --
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{http://www.example.in/} !(\.[^./]+)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_fileNAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_fileNAME} !-f RewriteRule (.*) /$1.php [L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^.]+)\.html\ HTTP RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.php $ http://www.example.in/$1 [R=301,L] Try this
DirectorySlash Off Options -MultiViews -Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=301,NE]
