Remove .php from URL

Ubuntu 14.04LTS 32bit

LAMP

I know it’s an old question but..

I need it to remove .php anywhere it finds it from the visible url. It needs to work with /showthread.php?id=XX —> /showthread?id=XX

I can’t even get it to work with /page.php –> /page. I’ve tried these:

Remove .php extension with .htaccess

How to hide the .html extension with Apache mod_rewrite

Remove .php from urls with htaccess

How to stop .htaccess loop

It just does nothing at all. While other .htaccess code works fine..

While

<?php 
phpinfo();

Lists mod_rewrite in Loaded Modules

And

<?php
 if(!function_exists('apache_get_modules') ){ phpinfo(); exit; }
 $res = 'Module Unavailable';
 if(in_array('mod_rewrite',apache_get_modules())) 
 $res = 'Module Available';
?>
<html>
<head>
<body>
<p><?php echo apache_get_version(),"</p><p>mod_rewrite $res"; ?></p>
</body>
</html>

Returns Module Available

Tried many more things

# Apache Rewrite Rules
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /

# Add trailing slash to url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

# Remove .php-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/$ $1.php 

# End of Apache Rewrite Rules
 </IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

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

Not even this has any effect whatsoever:

RewriteRule ^page$ page.php [L]

sudo service apache2 restart does not change anything.

Server reboot changes nothing.

I tried clearing other code inside, did not make any change.

I cleared my browser cache 100 times

I’m starting to think that it just hates me. What could possible be causing this??

Answer

Hope helped.

It’s worked for me.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# For LocalHost !.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=localhost
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=127.0.0.1
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=127.0.0.1
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=::1

## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}s([^.]+).php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]

# To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]
