What is the problem? You just need to use a text editor to remove the ".php".

We really have no idea what you are doing or why. What problem are you actually trying to solve?

i am trying to remove the .php extension

gavin_daCEO 26-May-20 7:32am

i got a bunch of lines on how to do it on the internet and they do not work. the latest is this one #remove php file extension-e.g. https://example.com/file.php will become https://example.com/file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]

The only way is to add

RewriteRule

's to your .htaccess file that will rename your url into whatever you specify. It does take a bit of reading but it is possible.

THIS is a good starting point.
