Removing PHP Extension with htaccess

[Ricky55]

Hi

 

Just started to use PHP and I've just uploaded a site that uses some simple includes.

 

I want to remove the PHP extension from my URL / Links as I think they just look better without them.

 

Just looked up how to do it with a .htaccess file and the code I've seen works except on one file.

 

It works for all my files that are all in the root folder of the site, one file though products.php when you click the link the browser adds a / on to the end of the URL.

 

When I've look at the permissions they are different for products.php then they are for all my other files.

 

I've not changed these myself, the only difference between products.php and the others is that products links to other php files where the other files link to other files but through an include.

 

All the files that work have the following permissions

 

Owner 6645

Group 48

Octal 644

 

Products.php has

 

octal 644 but the owner and group are blank.

 

I've tried to change the permissions using Transmit FTP and I just get the following error:

 

Unknown SITE command.

 

The code in the htaccess file is

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

 

What am I doing wrong? / how do I get around this?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Ricky

The easiest method would probably be to place the files in folders and set the file as the DocumentIndex (or rename them all to index.php).
