Remove .php extesion with .htaccess

Question

I am trying to remove my .php when someone visits a gallery on a client site. I found the following code that enables that but my .jpg s display "image cannot be displayed".

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]`

Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Try to remove .php extensions completely from your file to try to avoid a infinite loop :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

This code will work in Root/.htaccess , Make sure to change the RewriteBase if you want to place this into a .htaccess file in a sub directory.

On Apache 2.4 and later, you can use the END flag to prevent a infinite loop error. The following example should work the same as the above solution on Apache 2.4.

TRY THIS ALSO:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.php [NC,END]

Answer 2

Try this, which is easier

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