Try my version:
# Run Php without filename extension
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
# Return 404 if original request is .php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[^ ]* .*?\.php[? ].*$"
RewriteRule .* - [L,R=404]
How to add 404 error page when extension restricted .php and .html both
You can use the following.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
Basically this says if the File in the URL can’t be found on the server then in the backend load it again using .php. This will basically make the server take a /file request and because there is no /file on the server it will load /file.php instead. The user wont see the switch over but can still load both ways.
Trying using this version
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.php [NC,END]
You may also need to set mutliviews if so add this to the top of the htaccess file.
Options +MultiViews
