Hide URL extension (.php)

On my website my pages are all .php extensions, and I was wondering how could I properly hide these in the browser.

Example: mysite.com/page.php
to: mysite.com/page

I tried creating an HTACCESS file with this in it:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [nc]

Code (markup):

but that didn't seem to work

By the way this is a normal static (well dynamic) website, no CMS behind it

 

I think you would need to setup an array with PHP that serves your content, so that your URLs will look like typical 'generated' URLs, like "domain.com/?p=page".

It's not too hard to accomplish, just search Google for a tutorial.

 

Yea I already did that hence why I'm posting here looking for a better solution. All the tutorials I read off Google told me to create an HTACCESS file and that isn't working.

But thanks anyways, if anyone has a solution or link to one I would appreciate it

 

Ah, my apologies. In that case, I am not sure exactly what the problem is.

 

Did you try paste this line into your htaccess?

 

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

Code (markup):

This should work for you.
