Remove .php extension (explicitly written) for friendly URL
htaccess to remove the .php extension of my site's files.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
Now, if I go to my site
www.mysite.com/home
works fine, it redirects to home.php but the URL is still friendly.
But if I write this URL:
www.mysite.com/home.php
The home.php is served, and the URL is not friendly.
How can I avoid this behavior? I want that if the user writes www.mysite.com/home.php, the URL displayed in the URL bar be www.mysite.com/home
Answer :
remove .php from requests like so
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*).php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1 [L,QSA]
