如何正确删除 .PHP？

Question

Ok, So iv'e decided to remove all .php extentions from the url, and for this iv'e used the simple method:

Options MultiViews+

However, My profile page now displays almost nothing, with a black background because of the URL. If I input:

profile.php?username=Joe.Bills

It works perfectly fine, If however, I use:

profile?username=Joe.Bills 

It automatic changes the url and adds a / AFTER profile Example:

profile/?username=Joe.Bills

And thus, thinking its in a "separate directory" causes the error. How can i remove it from adding the additional / so it doesn't think its going to a separate directory

PS My link's are correct and currently is this:

<a href="profile?username=<?php echo $_SESSION['user_name']; ?>"><span class="bg">Profile</span></a>

Again, as I said, If I put

profile.php?username=Joe.Bills 

It works completely fine, so I don't understand why the URL thinks its a directory when entered, So my question would be:

How can I remove .PHP extensions a different way to fix this, or is there a way I can fix this with what I currently have and how?

Answer 1

You can use the following instead of Options +Multiviews :

 RewriteEngine on
 #remove trailing slashes
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !/$ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [NC,L]

This will allow you to access .php files without extension/slash at the end.
