Quick mod_rewrite question

I'd like to extract the .php extension from our URL's and so far, I've been using:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^new-url$ new-url.php [L]
RewriteRule ^new-url2$ new-url2.php [L]

Code (markup):

I've tried using a wildcard before but it messed up with some files I did wanted to keep the extension. Now I thought I could use a wildcard for every .php5 file, and then rename the files I'd like to have the extension extracted. Would that work? If so, what should I put inside my .htaccess?

 

I am not an expert, but this might work for you:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [NC,QSA,L]

Code (markup):

Just make sure the name of the directory is the same as the name of your php file.

 

Thanks for your answer baumann! So if I use the following code:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php5 [NC,QSA,L]

Code (markup):

I would extract the extension from every URL ending with .php5? (eg. www.domain.com/file.php5 to www.domain.com/file)

 

When you write your urls, you would use something like:

http://domain.com/my-super-directory/

Code (markup):

notice the trailing forward slash. the mod_url will rewrite it to:

http://domain.com/my-super-directory.php

Code (markup):

there is a small modification to the code I gave you:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1.php [NC,QSA,L]

Code (markup):

notice the forward slash just before the first $ sign.

 

Thanks for your answer baumann, but I would like to extract the extension from every URL ending with .php5 and make a 301 redirect if people access it with .php (eg. www.domain.com/file.php5 to www.domain.com/file).

What code should I use to accomplish that? Does anyone else know?

 

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
