Remove .PHP Extension (Explicitly Written) for Friendly Url

Remove .php extension (explicitly written) for friendly URL

you can remove .php from requests like so

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*).php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1 [L,QSA]

Remove php extension from subfolder url

You need additional rules for removing .php extension.

Use these rules:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.+?)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=302,NE,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [L,R=302,NC,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule ^status/([\w-]+)/?$ status.php?msgID=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(following|followers|friends)/([\w-]+)/?$ $1.php?username=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]

RewriteRule (?:^|/)([\w-]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1 [L,QSA]

Remove php extension from url

This might work:

 RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php/(.+)$ $1/$2

The first backreference would capture lt from lt.php and the second backreference would have example and php would be added to it.

Remove .php from urls with htaccess

Try this code for hiding .php (will work both ways):

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

## don't touch /forum URIs
RewriteRule ^forums/ - [L,NC]

## hide .php extension snippet

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

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

remove php extension, stop access of url with .php extension and remove trailing slashes

You're looking at things backwards: the first rule you have doesn't "remove the php extension", it adds it to URLs that don't already have it (technically, any that don't contain a period).

I think you want something more like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Remove .php from any URLs that contain it, using an external 301 redirect
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^no-redirect-loop(&|$)
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$  $1  [NS,R=301,L]

# Now add it back internally
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^no-redirect-loop(&|$)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  $1.php?no-redirect-loop  [NS,QSA]

Edit: While debugging another similar answer, I realized that the previous solution I posted here wasn't going to work in an .htaccess file. I've edited the example code above to use a rather ugly kluge for breaking redirect loops instead. A side effect of the kluge is that all scripts will see an extra empty URL parameter named no-redirect-loop.

Trying to remove .php file extension

You have asked many questions here. Let me answer first one:

www.mysite.com/page works without any rewrite rule due to Options MultiViews. Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.

If you place this line at top of your root .htaccess:

Options -MultiViews

Then www.mysite.com/page will issue 404.

Also to automatically remove .php from your URLs use this code in your root .htaccess:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

# To externally redirect /dir/file.php to /dir/file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(?:index)?(.*?)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]

# To internally forward /dir/file to /dir/file.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.php [L]
