Remove file extensions with .htaccess

Question

I'm trying to make a page on my site with the URL of http://localhost/logout/ .

I've created the /logout/ directory and the index.php file in that folder, but because I remove the extension of files when I go to http://localhost/logout/ it gives me a 404 error.

To actually get to the page I have to go to http://localhost/logout/index , which I don't want.

How do I fix this?

.htaccess:

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

Answer 1

do not remove the .php extension, add this to htaccess :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
