I'm trying to accomplish a rather common task of removing file extensions, where say, instead of index.php, just index can be accessed.
I've gone through many tutorials that offer all sorts of different ways how this can be accomplished and none of it works but what's commonly given is something like this.
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
|
I've tried this locally and on a server remotely and it just doesn't work.
I've looked all over on stackoverflow and tried getting some help on freenode so now I'm here.
Thank you very much and if this has already been addressed on the forums, I apologize. |

| Your topic title says 'removing file extensions', but your rewrite rule seems only valid for '.php'. What is your real purpose: remove only '.php'? What about things like /logo.png and /favicon.ico? Or just /? |

Removing the extension may only work if your urls in the html are without the ending.
I would also exclude directories from the rewriting
| Code: |
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d |
Not so clever would be to exclude files by extension
| Code: | | RewriteRule ^/(\.jpg|\.extension|\.ico) - [L] |
