Removing the php extension from URL's

[Ricky55]

Hi

 

I found this code on a blog that removes the .php extension from URL's.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

 

I have changed my links to just point to <a href="/about-us">About Us</a> and the code does work for all files at the root level of the site but as soon as I link to any file thats in a folder the links no longer work.

 

Any ideas as to why?

 

I have the .htaccess file in my root folder btw.

 

Thanks in advance.

With Apache you can just use

Options +MultiViews

It will affect all files, so if you don't want that then...

 

Which links are you talking about? Stylesheets and scripts and such?
