How to remove the .php extension in the URL?

Hello, how do you remove the .php extension from the url of your site? I already tried to do it but either it doesn’t work or the site doesn’t work anymore.

You can put the following code into your .htaccess file:

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

It’s not working, this is my htaccess file with your lines:


php_value display_errors On
php_value mbstring.http_input auto
php_value date.timezone Europe/Paris
ErrorDocument 400 ######################
ErrorDocument 401 ######################
ErrorDocument 403 ######################
ErrorDocument 404 ######################
ErrorDocument 503 ######################
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index2.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:CF-Visitor} !{"scheme":"https"}
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirect 301 /login https://newlist.free.nf/
Redirect 301 /account https://newlist.free.nf/signUp.php
Options +MultiViews
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Try to rename your current .htaccess file to old.htaccess and create a new .htaccess file with just the code that YT_Xaos gave. See if that works.

I don’t know what you mean, it’s working fine:

https://newlist.free.nf/index

https://newlist.free.nf/signUp

I assume what they mean is that requesting the page with the .php extension does not redirect to the version without it, so https://newlist.free.nf/signUp.php does not redirect to https://newlist.free.nf/signUp.

Actually it works well it’s just the link that didn’t redirect to the right url, thank you
