Mod_rewrite Rewringting URL without file extensions (.html)

File structure: /www/file.(php|html) , /www/folder/file.(php|html)

Is it possible to to loose the .php and .html in the url?
In other words rewrite the URL to access it from http://localhost/file and http://localhost/folder/file

 

Try this:

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

Code (markup):

There is an ambiguous case when you request http://example.com/file and both file.html and file.php exist. This rule will choose file.php.

 

You can only do something close to this if you have something unique in the URLs so apache knows if the page is from .html or .php.

For example domain.com/whatever/ can only point to html OR php.

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^folder/([^.]+)/$ folder/$1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/$ $1.php [L]

to get rid of the php.
