hiding .php (or any other) extension with .htaccess

[Pain]

Hello again.

 

I've been trying to hide my url extension lately. If it is yourdomain.com/management.php then i wan to make it yourdomain.com/management

 

After exploring various tutorials i've found out that writing the following code in the .htaccess file would help.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !\.php$
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$  /$1.php  [L]

 

Also i've changed all internal links in my website (eg. from

<a href="management.php">Link</a>

  to

<a href="/management">Link</a>

)

 

However it still does not work :s

 

Is there something wrong with the code?

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

There's also

Options +MultiViews

which allows you to omit extensions for any known (by Apache) file type.

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

 

 

I saw some other examples of mod rewriting and i figured that i have o do something with the last line

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

 

So if i want make it from myFile3.php to myFile then i should write something in that 4th line?

That you for your help guys. I found a solution. I've added one line at the top:

RewriteBase /

 

So full code would be;

RewriteBase /

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

I will not create yet another topic and ask this in here.

 

I've got this url:

http://kingstonuni.atspace.co.uk/social/user_profile.php?id=14

which i want to convert to:

http://kingstonuni.atspace.co.uk/social/14

or:

http://kingstonuni.atspace.co.uk/social/user_profile/14

 

what extra line of code should i add?

 

Thank you very much for your kind help.
