Put this in a file named .htaccess in your WWW-root:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(([A-Za-z0-9\-]+/)*[A-Za-z0-9\-]+)?$ $1.php

This works if you're running Apache and have mod_rewrite activated.

---

Just create a .htaccess file in wamp/www/ and copy-paste this code..

Options +FollowSymlinks


RewriteEngine On


RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]

Hope! this would be useful for someone!!

You'll want to find the appropriate method of url-rewriting for your web server. It lets you map

www.domain.com/page

to

www.domain.com/page.php

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L]

# To internally redirect /dir/foo/ to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]

In apache2.conf I have

<Files data>    
 ForceType application/x-httpd-php    
</Files>

Which means data is treated as a PHP file without the extension

Just to point out that on older versions of IIS for example IIS6 and assuming you are in a 32 bit process then IONICS ISAPI Rewrite is a fantastic free url rewriting module. Inside of 64 bit in IIS 6 I have found the commercial product Helicon ISAPI Rewrite 3 to be a great tool. But if you are in 32 bit, IONICS is free and does everything you will require.

There are several ways of doing it.

You can use mod-rewrite to rewire foo to foo.php so that requests for /bar gets handled by /bar.php.

You can use directories, and default-files, so that you link to the direcory /foo/ which gets handled by /foo/index.php

You can set a php-script as the handler for 404-errors, then you just link to nonexistant files, and the handler-file deals with it however it likes. (typically by using some sort of map from url to php-file)

You can tell your webserver that all request for a certain webserver, is to be handled by php.

The first or second solution is the simplest, but the 2 last ones gives the best flexibility, and variants thereof is what most of the bigger frameworks do.

On systems using the Apache webserver, you would use mod_rewrite.

On newer versions of IIS, you can use their version of mod_rewrite. On older versions you need to buy a plugin.

little modification - better to use REQUEST_URI and check for the directory


# Turn mod_rewrite on

RewriteEngine on

# To externally redirect /dir/foo.html to /dir/foo/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)\.html?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L]

# To internally redirect /dir/foo/ to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.html [L]

# To externally redirect /dir/foo.html to /dir/foo/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)\.html?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L]

# To internally redirect /dir/foo/ to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.html [L]

---

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

---

you can use this code for hide .php and if isset .php show error

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

# Return 404 if original request is .php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[^ ]* .*?\.php[? ].*$"
RewriteRule .* - [L,R=404]

Insert this code into your .htaccess file on the remote server:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

This will rewrite the URLs in the way you intended.
